[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#792832: snmpd storage reports all tmpfs and floods logfile

[Craig Small]

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.7.3+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

The latest systemd creates directories such as /run/user/csmall which
are only readable by that user. This is a good thing.

The problem is if snmpd is reloaded when a user is logged in then
it fills the log trying to statfs these mount points but is
unable to do so.

There needs to be an option to just make snmpd not try to look
at these sort of mount points. The problem is that ignoreDisk
only works for the devices, not mount points and a tmpfs has
no "device" name to match it by.

A ignoreMount feature would fix this and all other sorts of
problems, such as /run/user/* and /media/*
