I'd like to see you mount an OpenBSD ffs partition. If "other filesystems" is not qualified (and it is not), normal English rules would have it mean "all other filesystems" which I take to mean "all other filesystems on the system". Can you justify a better interpretation? IF the system's /home directory is formatted as an OpenBSD partition, then yes, FHS demands that tools for mounting and recovering it be in /. -- This email is: [ ] actionable [ ] fyi [x] social Response needed: [ ] yes [x] up to you [ ] no Time-sensitive: [ ] immediate [ ] soon [x] none
