that hack is bloody urgly, I hate to use that stupid hack. I am not talk about bring back /dev/root, but just a way of refereing "whatever root device specified on kernel commandline" in fstab or in -.mount unit. deserize root filesystem and configure the bootloader, and installation complete. Hate to change target fstab again. also, I think it's rather stupid to specify root device twice, once in boot loader, once in fstab. keeping them sync is a burden. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
