3 [space-munged for wrap]
4 > + msg = "It seems that %s is not mounted. You have been warned." % path
5
6 Maybe something less vaguely ominous than "You have been warned."?
7
8 I'm supposing for /proc the repercussions are process priority and/or
9 lifetime management, and for /run, locking. So maybe:
10
11 "Portage locking and/or process lifetime and priority management may
12 malfunction."
13
14 Or simpler/briefer to still fit on a single line with the "It seems..."
15 sentence:
16
17 "Process management may malfunction."
18
19 Omitting "that" after "It seems" to shorten further, the longer /proc
20 case would result in:
21
22 It seems /proc is not mounted. Process management may malfunction.
23
24 Nicely under the target 70 chars. =:^)
