Subject: Make cases for all different custom mounting situations more explicit.
X-Git-Tag: debian/3.0_a26-1~3
X-Git-Url: http://git.grml.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d15a4009895b692ff2645e1e7041a7975c49e518;hp=d4d4f98335c3bd91192501e123694a727da85956;p=live-boot-grml.git

Make cases for all different custom mounting situations more explicit.

The old code had grown wild over time and was hard to follow, and
consequently contained bugs (all related to linkfiles custom mounts in
read-only mode) that that became obvious and were fixed solely all
thanks to this re-write.
