[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#427773: ltspfsd: editing of /etc/fstab from udev rules is evil

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: ltspfsd
Version: 0.4.3+debian2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

so, ltspfsd's udev rules result in editing /etc/fstab when new devices
are inserted. when run on systems other than true ltsp thin clients,
this breaks other methods of mounting devices.

the udev rules, or the scripts they call (/lib/udev/add_fstab_entry,
/lib/udev/remove_fstab_entry) should maybe be modified to respect the
LOCALDEV setting in /etc/lts.conf.

it might be good for ltspfsd to depend on the ltsp-client package, which
would prevent it from being installed on "regular" systems with hard
drives.

or better yet, not edit /etc/fstab at all, and modify ltspfs to store
needed mount information elsewhere, and issue the appropriate mount
command(s).

gah, it's ugly. and evil.

live well,
