All, |

|
| 3 |
it seems that we have mostly agreed that this proposal is a good one, so |
| 4 |
I want to focus the discussion on the specific behaviour of localmount |
| 5 |
and netmount. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Currently, they mount all file systems in mass and exit successfully |
| 8 |
regardless of whether the mounts are successful. I feel this is a bug |
| 9 |
because it doesn't correctly report what happened, so I want to change |
| 10 |
their behaviour so they can fail if one of the dependent mounts fails. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The other change I want to make, considering that the mount.* scripts |
| 13 |
will actually do the work of mounting the file systems, is to turn |
| 14 |
localmount and netmount into wrappers which will do nothing other than |
| 15 |
pull in the appropriate mounts. The sys admin would have to configure |
| 16 |
which mounts are local vs network using settings in |
| 17 |
/etc/conf.d/{local,net}mount. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
What do folks think of these changes? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If they are combined, is this significant enough change to warrant a 1.0 version |
| 22 |
bump?It would be if I were removing local/netmount, but I'm not sure |
| 23 |
whether it is since I'm basically just changing the behaviour to fix a |
| 24 |
bug. |
