I'd like to make some changes to my mountpoints, but this new
hal/fstab-sync system is completely opaque to me. The man page (which
I can't get to just now) suggests reading some XML files and a web
page. I think the web page was on freedesktop.org, which is down
right now. The XML files were . . . not helpful.
I've been googling, but I can't find any sort of "getting started"
type guide to this new system.
I'd also like to weigh-in as thinking that XML files and kookie little
daemons are a step in the wrong direction from a "UNIX philosophy"
point of view. Having changes to a (flat-text-thank-you-very-much)
file in /etc silently disappear on reboot is precisely the sort of
"advance" that I switched away from Windows to escape.
Anyway, any links would be helpful.
Thanks,
Peter
