(running kernel-image-2.6.8-2-k7 2.6.8-13) argenau:~# echo '/foo /bar ext3 rw 0 0' >> /etc/mtab argenau:~# mount | grep foo /foo on /bar type ext3 (rw) argenau:~# ls -l /foo /bar ls: /foo: No such file or directory ls: /bar: No such file or directory argenau:~# /etc/cron.daily/find ; echo $? 0 argenau:~# locate initrd.img-2.6.8-2-k7 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-k7 What exact commandline do you use to reproduce this? cu andreas -- "See, I told you they'd listen to Reason," [SPOILER] Svfurlr fnlf, fuhggvat qbja gur juveyvat tha.
