As Petter pointed out[0], another solution is to update mtab before mountall.sh runs in order to reflect the fact that /proc has already been mounted; then mount will not attempt to mount /proc again.
[0]http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-sysvinit-devel/2006-January/000715.html Another solution is to refrain from trying to mount proc filesystems in mountall.sh. That is: - mount -av -t nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs + mount -av -t nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs,proc However, this has the result that additional proc fs mounts are skipped. Some people may be mounting proc at more than one location. So how about the following?: - mount -av -t nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs + mount -av -t proc >/dev/null 2>&1 || : # Ignore error due to already mounted /proc + mount -av -t nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncp,ncpfs,coda,ocfs2,gfs,proc This is still not ideal because errors in mounting proc filesystems are still ignored; however this kludge seems better than the current kludge. Anyone see any problems? If not then I will made the latter change. -- Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
