For this, I added to "/etc/fstab": none /tmp tmpfs defaults 1 2 With that line there, the system failed to complete booting. The system appeared to hang just after mounting "/" as read/write. There was one additional line of output about being unable to break the loop. If I wait long enough, I then get a shell, but I am unable to reboot or shutdown from the shell (it goes into a hang again). Removing that line from "/etc/fstab" allows normal bootup. Note that this did work with M5 (using "init"). However, when I tried "systemd" with M5, it hung at the same point. It is possible that this problem is related to bug 721666 (swapon not done). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add the indicated line to "/etc/fstab" 2.Reboot Actual Results: System hangs. Expected Results: Boot should complete normally. -- 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.
