That was a marketing hoax (which I didn't even find really credible because Linux' rm doesn't operate recursively on / without the option --no-preserve-root for some years now). > Anyway, in the past I've read some useful tips for using Systemd on this > list, so here's the blog post should it be of any interest: > > https://jmtd.net/log/mount_on_demand_backups/ Thanks! I think we need to share more examples on how to use systemd properly. A lot of the criticism stems from the simple fact that people just need to learn what the new tools can do for them.
