Systemd Rolls Out Its Own Mount Tool (phoronix.com)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the daemons-that-mount-files dept.

An anonymous Slashdot reader writes: I'm surprised this hasn't surfaced on Slashdot already, but yesterday Phoronix reported that systemd will soon be handling file system mounts, along with all the other stuff that systemd has encompassed. The report generated the usual systemd arguments over on Reddit.com/r/linux with Lennart Poettering, systemd developer and architect, chiming in with a few clarifications.
Lennart argued it will greatly improve the handling of removable media like USB sticks.

      Systemd would be a a great OS... all it needs is a decent init system.

    I keep hearing about this SystemD thing. Is this the OS that Linux runs on?

      I think it is like Emacs without the editor part.
