Package: util-linux Version: 2.17.2-9.1 Severity: important Hi,
Upstream have released version 2.19: http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.19/util-linux-2.19.tar.bz2 http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.19/util-linux-2.19.tar.bz2.sign http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.19/v2.19-ReleaseNotes Please also see discussion with upstream: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/3811 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/3811 (note: prior to the 2.19 release). If libmount is enabled for managing mtab/utab updates, this will enable /etc/mtab to be transitioned to a symlink. User options are now correctly preserved. Probably best done on system restart when mtab is set up early during boot. Please could we update to 2.19 and switch /etc/mtab to be a symlink to /proc/mounts? NB. this will allow many many util-linux bugs relating to broken mtab handling to be resolved. Many thanks, Roger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
