OK, this is my Jessie test VM, so I read-up on systemd and systemctl. Then I
did
systemctl enable tmp.mount
and rebooted. As advertised, I had /tmp mounted on tmpfs. Cool!
But…
I still can’t figure out how to exercise control over the size and other mount
options, the way I used to be able to do under sysvinit using options in
/etc/default/tmpfs .
Yes, I know I can do all that in /etc/fstab. But I’m testing here, so I’m
trying to verify apparent functionality regressions, not look for workarounds.
I’m happy to RTFM, but which FM tells me how to do this?
Thanks!
Rick
PS: Yes, definitely, I’m planning to submit a documentation bugreport against
initscripts as Michael suggested… but I want to explore the full ramifications
of the change before I do — so I don’t ask for the impossible, or ask for
something that’s already there that I just didn’t see.
PPS: Don’t take this comment the wrong way — I’m all for change, especially
if, as with systemd, it improves flexibility, manageability, auditability,
speed and security for my systems — but I’m thinking that there will be a lot
of folks who stick with Wheezy for a long time because the systemd change is
too big for them to swallow. Wheezy may wind up being the “XP” of Debian
releases.
