Why so many mounted file systems in MX
Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2024 6:39 am
I was just going through the mount points and found that there are about 17 mount points in a typical MX Linux. Please see the details given below. Why does MX need to have so many mount points in a running system? Can these be reduced? For example the portal, systemd, pstore, devpts, and a few tempfs should not even exist.
I am running MX Linux 23.3 with KDE plasma 5 and Kernel 6.1.0-23-amd64
