Subject: udisks2 mounts devices in a non-FHS-compliant directory

Date: Thu, 05 Jul 2012 10:12:28 -0700

Package: udisks2
Version: 1.98.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: FHS

udisks2 has taken to mounting user filesystems under /run/media.  This
directly contradicts the FHS, which says /media is to be used for mounting
removeable media.

This is therefore a serious policy violation in the udisks2 package.

This bug has also been reported upstream and upstream has refused to correct
the issue: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51709

We've implemented /run despite it not being in the FHS.

If there are good technical arguments for mounting removable media under
/run/media (and I notice a few in the upstream bug report), I don't see
why we shouldn't consider diverging from the FHS here.

We've implemented /run, as a special exception approved in Debian Policy,
for those bits of the filesystem previously stored in /var/run and
/var/lock.  No such exception has been granted for /media, nor should there
be.

No, there are no good technical arguments for the move.  There's a technical
justification given for creating per-user subdirectories, there is *not* a
technical reason for the move to /run.  This is a gratuitous incompatibility
with the FHS.

Just for clarification, this exception was added after /run had already
been implemented.
Neither the FHS nor the debian-policy are set in stone and e.g. the FHS
eventually caught up what was implemented by the distros.

No, it was discussed on debian-policy before it was implemented in sysvinit.

Neither the FHS nor Debian Policy generally can be ignored by packages in
Debian.

Your package is in violation of Policy.  Fix it.  If you don't like Policy,
file a bug against debian-policy about it - but there's no good reason at
all for this change, and Debian does not change its filesystem policy every
time an upstream decides to ignore it for no good reason.
