https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=664825 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=664825#c1 --- Comment #1 from Greg Freemyer 2011-01-17 20:09:46 UTC --- Feedback from Mark Lord (upstream maintainer) === How does this look to you for a bash rdev equivalent: ## Try and determine the device name associated with the root filesystem. ## This is nearly impossible to do in any perfect fashion. ## ## do_rdev *usually* works, but on some distros it may only find "/dev/root", ## and "/dev/root" is not usually a real device. We leave it like that for now, ## because that's the pattern such systems also use in /proc/mounts. ## Later, at time of use, we'll try harder to find the real rootdev. ## ## Redhat/Fedora no longer have an rdev command. Silly them. ## So we now implement it internally, below. ## STAT=/usr/bin/stat FIND=/usr/bin/find function match_rdev() { rdev="" rdevno="$1" while read bdev ; do if [ "$rdev" = "" -o "$bdev" != "/dev/root" ]; then devno=$($STAT -c "0x%t%02T" "$bdev") [ "$devno" = "$rdevno" ] && rdev="$bdev" fi done echo -n "$rdev" } rootdev=$($FIND /dev/ -type b 2>/dev/null | match_rdev $($STAT -c "0x%D" '/')) [ $verbose -gt 0 ] && echo "rootdev=$rootdev" That's what I'm intending to replace rdev with in wiper.sh v3.3. But I don't have any installs here that use "/dev/root" to re-test with. Gotta hunt around some more, I guess.. === -- 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.

This version incorporates the "rdev" replacement script. As soon as this hits factory, I believe this can be closed, but since it uses all new logic to replace rdev, it would be good to do some testing before 11.4 -- 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.
