Hey list,
In the course of review of owfs (#927237) I was pointed that
shipping directory in /mnt is prohibited. FHS seems to agree.
owfs is suite of program for accessing 1-wire network, which is
simple hardware protocol. One of the program is FUSE module,
giving the access to network and devices on it through filesystem.
The "/mnt/1wire" directory is widely used default - it's in the
default config files and many scripts over the net uses it. I'd really
like to retain this similarity eith other distributions in Fedora.
Is there any way out from this situation?
Yeah fix this and push it upstream so those doing it wrong start
doing it right and follow FHS :)
What would be proper path for such kind of filesystem?
Hm... looking at FHS it actually looks like /mnt is the point for
temporary filesystem, nfs mountpoints is an example. One alternative
would be to see the 1-wire filesystem as a removable device and thus use
/run/media for it., I guess.
There is the tmpfiles.d mechanism to set up the directory without
packaging it (which isn't possible for /run anyway, since /run is empty
on boot). Actually, I think you could technically use tmpfiles.d to add
a temporary mountpount also in /mnt; no idea if this complies with the GL.
Just my 5 öre...
