Low priority: I'm tempted to nominate this year old bug as a final blocker under the data corruption provision. And I'm wondering what people think of this. RFE: Do not persistently mount EFI System partition at /boot/efi https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1077984 A crash/panic or power failure has a high degree of FAT corruption potential. The FAT kernel maintainer says this is more or less expected and that the volume shouldn't be persistently mounted. The RFE contains a ~18 month (or better) tested work around, using mount options 'x-systemd.automount,noauto' to prevent it from being mounted unless needed. At the moment it doesn't autoumount so it can still get corrupted, but this is better than nothing. The bug is an RFE so making it a blocker is, well, it's 50% RFE and 50% data corruption bug, and is an odd duck way of getting it fixed but there's no traction in a year, not even a comment. The problem came up again today on the systemd list where Kay says "Right, the Linux FAT driver, or maybe just the way Linux handles the writeback to disk, is absolutely fragile. Corrupted FAT file systems are the norm and not the exception. We must mount it unconditionally, it will just break after a while." http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-March/029334.html Hence my desire to escalate. -- Chris Murphy -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
