Description Thomas Boje 2005-04-12 05:02:35 UTC

Emerge'ing baselayout creates /mnt/floppy, and I have to remove (or ignore) that directory afterwards.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge baselayout  (or emerge --update --deep world)
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
/mnt/floppy reappears (and includes .keep)

Expected Results:  
Not create that dir. It could e.g. read /etc/fstab to check what dirs are
actually needed.
Suggestion: If reading fstab, baselayout could create other needed /mnt/* dirs
as well.

(I can't paste `emerge info`, since I'm not at home right now. Seems not to be
important anyway)

we could move the /mnt/{cdrom,floppy} kdir's into a `use build` section that way they're only created during the first install of Gentoo and not everytime you emerge baselayout ...
