systemd might be affected too, so I'm bringing Tollef into the loop here. When having booted with systemd I get: debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime) Tollef, do you know why systemd mounts debugfs by default? Is there something that should be done in the systemd package? Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
