debugfs query

Hi,

Currently Fedora doesn't automatically mount debugfs at boot time. So I
thought that it might be worth asking whether this should be the case?

One alternative would be to only mount it when a package was installed
that requires debugfs. The issue there is that there are potentially, at
least, multiple packages and they would need to cooperate somehow in
mounting debugfs.

They could do it be appending a line to fstab, or they could use their
own scripts to mount it. Is there a preferred method?

Bearing in mind that it would be a lot simpler just to have debugfs
mounted as part of the default fstab, that would be my suggested
solution, unless there is a good reason not to do that?

Steve.
