Having the default mount propagation be "shared" solves some situations where a configuration item (say, PrivateTmp=) requires spawning a service in a Linux kernel file system namespace. Other mounts that happen post-service start aren't visible to the service, despite being visible and functional to administrators. It's hard to debug, and it won't show any obvious warnings or errors in logs. I don't believe making root private breaks systemd itself. I think it just makes other administration potentially confusing. -- David Strauss | [email protected] | +1 512 577 5827 [mobile] _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
