Debate/Suggestion, about directory usage renaming /mnt/livecd /mnt/cdrom #27

Open dorvan opened 9 years ago

Following the evolution of linux, gentoo and genkernel and using genkernel in different ways, also on appliace systems or on usb keys, at today seems more coherent with reality and usage with mass memory devices to abstract the naming (only the naming) of directories swithcing from the "device" to the "role" of the content. for example:

/mnt/livecd -> /mnt/System (or SystemImage) and /mnt/cdrom -> /mnt/Boot (BootDevice)

what do you think about?

also "livecd" file to recognize BootDevice, can be renamed .BootDevice or .BootDeviceNN where NN can be the Boot Device Index for example replicated partitions not mirrored similar to CoreOS partition layout ( https://coreos.com/docs/sdk-distributors/sdk/disk-partitions/ ), can be recognized and retried respecting a numebering priority. directly from genkernel image.
