For what it's worth, I do have most lines in my /etc/fstab commented out. These include: # tmpfs /compat/linux/dev/shm tmpfs rw,mode=1777 0 0 Created attachment 245529 [details]
Patch for install message
Please, take into account that /etc/rc.d/linux only handles this on modern systems. 12.4-RELEASE, which is a supported production release does not have this capability.
Also keep in mind that /etc/rc.d/linux handles this in an all-or-nothing fashion. There is no fine tuning of what filesystems to mount.
Comment on attachment 245529 [details] Patch for install message Thanks! Addition of this single paragraph seems entirely non-contentious (to me), and we can not tell the membership of 'nobody' addresses such as emulation@, so if you'd like to commit: I can not imagine an objection after the event. (In reply to Fernando Apesteguía from comment #2) > Please, take into account that /etc/rc.d/linux only handles this > on modern systems. 12.4-RELEASE, … No MFC flag here, so stable/12 and releng/12.4 will be dead before the commit here reaches users of quarterly, and users of latest are expected to be more knowledgeable (or prepared to learn) than users of quarterly. HTH (In reply to Fernando Apesteguía from comment #2) > … /etc/rc.d/linux handles this in an all-or-nothing fashion. I see, linux_mounts_enable – described in both: a) <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=linux&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-release#DESCRIPTION> for FreeBSD-RELEASE, currently 13.2-RELEASE; and more specifically b) <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=linux&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+12.2-RELEASE#DESCRIPTION> for 12.2-RELEASE, which is already end of life. Not described in the corresponding page for 12.1-RELEASE. If I understand this correctly (linux_mounts_enable for all-or-nothing), then there might be a subsequent patch to remove the fstab-related lines from the package message. Prefer conciseness within a package message; with directions to a manual page and/or <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/#linuxemu-advanced>. HTH, thanks again. I removed pkg-message in ports 667277248f7e. |
