Description Chen Qi 2013-06-25 07:37:45 UTC

A few directories under /media are created by default, /media/card, /media/mmc, /media/realroot, etc.
It seems to try to create every possible directory under /media that our system might need to use or create. I can't quite understant this strategy. If some automount mechanism is available in the distro, it will take care of the creation of proper directories, which are not necessarily located under /media (/mnt is another reasonable choice). If no automount mechanism is available in system, then the choice is left to the user. In this situation, he/she can create directories he wants.
To conclude, I think it's safe to remove them from base-files.

Besides, an extra tmpfs is mounted over /media/ram for sysvinit based system. From my understanding, it brings no benefit. So I think we remove the corresponding entry from fstabs.
