Subject: base-files vs. FHS-2.3
Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:55:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D53C412.9090804@dresearch.de> (raw)
While dealing with the /var subdirs i hit some differences between Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (current FHS-2.3) and the base-files package.
One point is that /var/tmp is symlinked to volatile/tmp but according to the standard this dir contains "Temporary files *preserved between system reboots* ".
Also /var/cache is symlinked to volatile/cache but the standard describes "The data must remain valid between invocations of the application *and rebooting the system.* " what i would read in the way that /var/cache should be persistent too.
May be there are other differences.
In my opinion the symlinking in base-files is buggy and should be fixed. Or am i wrong here?
Steffen
