Walsh 2013-04-22 11:15:57 PDT --- I confirm that /etc/mtab CANNOT be a symlink to /proc/self/mounts -- it needs to be writable or mount can't write to it when you use: mount -f --no-canonicalize -o remount -a df is displaying the output in /etc/fstab format, mount no longer does, So when I try to find the device associated with a directory by using "df <dir>" I get (in my home directory): # df . Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/HnS/Home 1.0T 792G 233G 78% /home but you can't search for /dev/HnS/Home in the output of mount -- as mount is no longer showing the form used in fstab (which it did before).

I confirm that /etc/mtab CANNOT be a symlink to /proc/self/mounts -- it needs to be writable or mount can't write to it when you use: mount -f --no-canonicalize -o remount -a

No, regular mtab is a hell (chasing inconsistencies between mtab and /proc/mounts was no fun) which can be avoided with recent version of mount. One of the good things about systemd is that is it issues a warning if /etc/mtab is not a symlink: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/README http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-01/msg00130.html Please check if making /etc/mtab symlink to /proc/self/mounts does make any difference.

Walsh 2013-04-22 13:27:24 PDT --- I honestly don't care about /etc/mtab. I want mount to put out the same device names as I use in /etc/fstab. That's all I care about. That is no longer working. Having devices with random made up names that don't correspond to what is in /etc/fstab is also a hell. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Walsh 2013-04-25 00:31:42 PDT --- BTW -- I tried using the output of /proc/self/mounts -- it doesn't show my root device, whereas the output of mount does (showing lines up to proc.... ) the 1st entry of /proc/self/mounts references some pseudo device called rootfs -- but that's not a real device. proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0 proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) ------------- However, I found a patch that fixes the problem called: util-linux-HACK-boot.localfs.diff That has the comment that "boot.localfs" needs the real device name -- so it gets it by setting a ENV var that tells 'mount' to output the real name. So maybe that 'hack' should be the default... That would fix part of the problem (rootfs shadowing real root). That would leave the lvm name problem which looks more complicated. It looks like mount was re-written and no thought was given to the no-canonical option that lvm needs (cuz udev doesn't know about "vg's", I think)... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
