Summary: yast removes /etc/mtab during installation
Classification: openSUSE
Product: openSUSE 11.4
Version: Factory
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Critical
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: locilka@xxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: coolo@xxxxxxxxxx

Blocker: ---


/etc/mtab is now a symlink to /proc and touching it at all should be forbidden
in factory. Please add code to handle it - there is a 30% chance we will revert
back to a file, so leave it untouched if it's a symlink.

From my greping this is mostly about clients/umount_finish.ycp, but there is
also code in inst_kickoff, but I'm not so sure how relevant it is for the bug
we see (non existant mtab after boot)
