I'm okay with a change as long as it's relatively manageable and |
| 31 |
offers some real benefits. If I understand correctly, this new |
| 32 |
mounting will allow us to declare mounting dependencies the same way |
| 33 |
we declare service/daemon dependencies, correct? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
So say I want to have an ownCloud instance that provides a single /usr |
| 36 |
or /etc for any Gentoo system that wants it on my local network. Is |
| 37 |
that a use case that would benefit from this new mounting? I'm just |
| 38 |
trying to understand which use cases benefit and why, and what it is |
| 39 |
that fstab isn't good enough for right now. As a developer, I want to |
| 40 |
be able to support users on this if/when it hits mainline OpenRC. |
