If anyone else think I should fix this _now_, please reply to the bug
in the BTS or to this mailing list, and tell me your
oppinion. Currently I only see holger that likes to have this bug
fixed now and it will help me to decide when to fix this. My plan is
to fix those bugs at the fai developers meeting in two weeks, but I
more people like to have it now, I'll do it before.

Even if the bugs and their fixes seems to be very easy, I'm like to do
theis change very carefully. IMO a lot of people will complain if
their / (root) partition will be filled up because the nfsroot will
move to /srv and they only have a small / partition. I like to
implement a small test routine, and print a warning message for this.

Shouldn't we test the changes before an upload? Or do you mean "fix
those bugs, but do not upload yet"?

I totally agree on this. This will save all of us some time.
