Hi Folks,

The world seems to be headed toward universal multiple config files in the form <dir>.d. There are about fifty of them in /etc.

I mount some filesystems "universally", under "/net/...", and, when appropriate, in a user directory, "/home/<user>/net/...". This gives me better granularity of permissions. My fstab has become cumbersome and today I asked the question, "Maybe there is an /etc/fstab.d? Son-of-a-bitch! There is! Well, I mean, I find scattered, inaccurate references, but it is not clear to me that it works on Fedora 36, and initial experiments indicate otherwise. I can still use it, but I have a script that combines all my "components" and replaces the "real" /etc/fstab, and that's not too bad, but it is a hack, and I'd rather find out if it is supposed to work and find out why mine doesn't.

Anybody have any experience with /etc/fstab.d?
