Description Morgan Leijström 2012-05-10 11:18:51 CEST
For example check that there is to be a mount point for /

Possibly also it should try to compare old fstab to what it intends to write and if there is less mount points it should present the differences and ask user if OK.

Both to check user errors, and internal errors, and errors caused by technology changes, i.e bug 5811

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Removed needinfo because there is no real question.

There's no point in doing that.
Some may want to not have such a mount point.
If there's an issue, it must be fixed (like bug #5811 was).

Comment 4 Morgan Leijström 2013-04-06 09:53:39 CEST
It should not hinder, but warn.

I believe there are still issues

Of course issues should be fixed, but like in household wiring, there are fuses that prevent the house burning down because of an easily detectable fault.
I design industrial control systems and they are peppered with checks, of course to save life and machine, but they also aid in detecting many possible bugs, so the effort is returned.
