(systemd) you couldn't give me a shell?
- JdeBP 11y agoMore interesting than some Twitter posting is the systemd bug report dealing with this: * https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1495 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1495 This amongst others has the reactions of the systemd developers, including Lennart Poettering who questions why this is appearing now on Ubuntu and states that "initrds have rescue shells built-in, it's not that this was unfixable": * https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1495#issuecomment-146886870 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1495#issuecomment-... And Jóhann B. Guðmundsson who is of the opinion that people should "adapt their workflow to current times": * https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1495#issuecomment-146900328 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1495#issuecomment-... Of course, the deprecation of an actual file as /etc/mtab (on Debian Linux at least) pre-dates the creation of systemd by a couple of years: * https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494001 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494001
- digi_owl 11y agoI fucking "love" poettering's comparison of removing libc.so(!) to systemd throwing a hissy fit because mtab is a file and not a symlink (to a known path no less, so it should have been possible for the systemd code to go "hmm, a file? Better warn the sysadmin about that and check that other location").
