Hi all, i used to keep a folder in /media to serve as mountpoint if some manual mountis was needed. since some days, this folder disappeared, even if created again. is there any change in filesystems, kernel or whatsoever changing behavior there, is it intended (if so, why?) or a bug? every hint appreciated.
If you are using initscripts this should not happen.
If you are using systemd it should. The justification being that /media is meant for ephemeral mount points (i.e. stuff created by udisks et al.).
Wouldn't most users associate /media with cd, dvd etc. ? Seems like on odd name for what systemd uses it for.
cd, dvd, usb sticks, etc are examples of the kind of temporary mount points created by udisks under /media. They are created on insertion and deleted on removal. Hence, there is no need to preserve the contents of /media and having it on tmpfs makes sense. That said, it seems to be agreement among the upstream devs that /media is a broken concept and systemd/udisks will likely introduce a user specific replacement, which will no longer be in the root fs. -t
