YaST copies /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab at some point, which is a really bad idea. -- 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.

The question is whether it is really needed. Anyway, I have found when the inst-sys gets broken: - start Alpha3plus installation - switch to the 2nd console - 'df' output is OK - 'extend cracklib-dist-full.rpm' - 'df' output is still OK - 'extend -r cracklib-dist-full.rpm' - 'df' output is now broken So the removal of the extension broke the inst-sys. -- 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.

Then *** YAST *** BREAKS IT by copying /proc/mounts to it. ***** IT MUST NOT DO THIS! PLEASE GO AND FIX YAST. ***** 'extend' does not modify mtab. Thanks. I hope I made my point a bit clearer now. :-) -- 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.

Moreover it's in packager, not installation. BTW, it should rewrite only /mnt/etc/mtab and use $tmpdir/mtab. -- 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.
