From 45a582d5369b501743ac4dded3a481e6a589c029 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Jenkins Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 16:55:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] README: fix context for CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES `newinstance` (and `ptmxmode`) options of devpts are _not_ used by PrivateDevices=. (/dev/pts is shared, similar to how /dev/shm and /dev/mqueue are handled). It is used by nspawn containers though. Also CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES was removed in 4.7-rc2 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/eedf265aa003b4781de24cfed40a655a664457e6 and no longer needs to be set, so make that clearer to avoid confusion. --- README | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/README b/README index e54c5d6efb..8807e5cfe4 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -69,11 +69,10 @@ REQUIREMENTS: create additional symlinks in /dev/disk/ and /dev/tape: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BSG - Required for PrivateNetwork= and PrivateDevices= in service units: + Required for PrivateNetwork= in service units: CONFIG_NET_NS - CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES Note that systemd-localed.service and other systemd units use - PrivateNetwork and PrivateDevices so this is effectively required. + PrivateNetwork so this is effectively required.
