And that could have been put at "/media/$username/$medianame". Not one part of that security practice change required using "/run" Calling stored content, typically used across multiple sessions and often used for archival or non-writable storage, part of the "run-time" data is a serious misreading of what the "run-time" data of the FHS spec describes. The language is clearly aimed at PID data and similar boot-time erasable data. I've never personally used attachable media that I scrubbed, or expected to be scrubbale, with everey reboot. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
