https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690662 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690662#c2 --- Comment #2 from David Hignett <linux@hignett.me.uk> 2011-04-28 21:22:19 UTC --- checked /etc.sysconfig/ntp - NTPD_RUN_CHROOTED="yes" Went to Yast NTP Config/Security, find "Run in CHroot Jail" is selected (ie yes). This is presumably default, since I have not changed it. Set it to no and configured NTP to start at boot. After re-boot, confirmed ntpd running, no copy of /proc in /var/lib/ntp. Confirmed /etc.sysconfig/ntp - NTPD_RUN_CHROOTED="no" So it seems the "expected" behaviour is happening, so I accept it's not a bug. The question remains of Why ? I checked with a SUSE 11.3 install, Yast default for NTP config is NOT to run CHroot, but in 11.4 it is and help says it should be. So what is a humble user (ie me) to do ? The appearance of this unexpected virtual file system screwed up my full system backup (after install), copying a complete copy of /proc to my backup artition and getting "no space left" errors, which is how I found it. -- 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.
