Public bug reported: Passing mount options (here: "hidepid=2") for /proc via /etc/fstab does not seem to work:
$ grep /proc /etc/fstab /etc/mtab /proc/mounts /etc/fstab:proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid,hidepid=2 0 0 /etc/mtab:proc /proc proc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 /proc/mounts:proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 Also, /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are out of sync - are there plans to link /etc/mtab against /proc/mounts? (Note: I'm not particularly in favor of bug 906293, propsing yet another file to the mix). The system is a fully patched Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (i686) in an Amazon EC2 virtual machine. Workaround: add the following line to /etc/rc.local: mount -o remount,hidepid=2 /proc ** Affects: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039887 Title: fstab does not honor /proc mount options To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/1039887/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
