I'd appreciate if you could do these tests:
* remove the "/dev /.dev unknown rw,bind 0 0"-line from /etc/mtab and reboot into your usual kernel. Check whether the broken line in mtab is regenerated. * If the line indeed is persistent make the same test with the older kernel.
I did this and rebooted, and the line did not reappear. It was replaced by "/dev /dev/.static/dev unknown rw,bind 0 0" which causes no problems.
So it seems that something udev-related has put a truncated line in /etc/mtab. That's hardly findutils' fault :) Thanks for helping out.
As to this,
But there has to be more factors, becaus if I simply add the broken line to _my_ /etc/mtab (and optionally additionally mkdir /.dev) updatedb continues to work fine.
If I add the original line again, it fails in the same way. If I then "mkdir /.dev" it works again. The same behaviour (ie. updatedb fails and truncates db) if I instead add "/foo /bar ext3 rw 0 0".
Cheers, Joachim.
