> Currently, systemd mounts filesystems based on either an existing /etc/fstab, or its own "unit files". In the future, systemd will do away with all of /etc in favour of a "stateless" design. This implies removal of /etc/fstab. QED.

I think you need to take a course in logic.

> As an aside, I'm quite sure it's also been stated explicitly that the "legacy" /etc/fstab is going to go away for reasons of dependency-tracking and suchlike, i.e. to fit in the "unit" mechanism favoured by systemd.

You're 'quite' sure, but not sure enough to actually back your statement up with evidence?

When you signed off your prior post with 'systemd must be destroyed' I was half-convinced it was a work of satire... I'm disappointed to find out that this isn't so!

And I think your mother was a hamster -- but that, too, is immaterial. Would you like to argue the point instead of the person?

Your half-conviction was exactly correct, but reaching the appropriate conclusion seems to have required a degree of culture that's unavailable to some.
