[Bug 727758] New: /etc/mtab remains file on dup
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727758 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727758#c0 Summary: /etc/mtab remains file on dup Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: fcrozat@suse.com ReportedBy: bwiedemann@suse.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: lnussel@suse.com Found By: System Test Blocker: --- openQA tests found that when upgrading a 11.3 system with zypper dup, it will leave /etc/mtab as regular file, because a) util-linux does not do it in %post anymore (because it is cleaner to do on system boot) b) aaa_base scripts doing it earlier, do not run on boot with systemd failed test looks thus: http://openqa.opensuse.org/viewimg/opensuse/testresults/openSUSE-NET-i586-Bu... -- 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.

It should be owned by a package (filesystem, I think) and we add some macros to handle the migration. -- 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.

Packages can't replace /etc/mtab at run time though as that would lose data (user=xxx options for example). Ie /etc/mtab needs to be turned into a symlink early at boot (provided that /etc/ is writable of course). -- 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.

So, we could either try to recreate the symlink at startup, after / is remounted rw or at shutdown, before unmounting / (in both cases, systemd will complain one time). -- 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.
