Seems like the code to mount was extremely messed up in factory or 12.3 -- not exactly sure -- but someone replaced the old, working mount, with one based on one in usr/lib/libmount -- which doesn't seem to know about fstab nor does it know about "mtab" (as needing to be separate from /proc/mounts). I have mount points setup in fstab. I have disk maint programs that need to tie mounted file systems to those device names used in fstab. It used to be simple to determine the dev of a directory: df <dir> (like "df .") -- massage and you'd have the device name. Now, the best I've come up with is to **NOT** have /etc/mtab linked (or mount cannot write to it!! as documented in the man page). Zero it out, then run "mount -c -f -a" to recreate most of it. Seems like the devices are not created in the new map. But unless I run "mount -c -f /" in addition to the "-a" line, root's fs doesn't show up... why do I want to see "rootfs".. it's insecure -- I don't know the real root device. Can mount be fixed? And can the advice to link /etc/mtab->/proc/mounts be reconsidered -- since it breaks documented "mount" functionality (or will this now be called another "weird case"...ignored? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
