Event Timeline

Looks good to me. I've already added linux_skip_mounts=YES to my rc.conf so when I upgrade to 13 I won't forget to do it. :)

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Nov 11 2019, 10:17 PM

Under the assumption that the man page update will be added to https://reviews.freebsd.org/D22277: OK

I'm not 100% sure but I think all the variables in rc.conf are "positive", not "negative", like enable, never disable. So perhaps the variable should be called linux_mounts or linux_mounts_enable or linux_fs_mount or something, and default to YES.

Rename to 'linux_mounts_enable' and flip the meaning.

This revision now requires review to proceed.Nov 12 2019, 3:03 PM

Yes, we should avoid negative-sense controls, for sysctls as well.
