Hrm. Shirley, there's some name in there it could use safely...? Whatever that name is, checkroot.sh could mount a tmpfs on /dev/shm/<thatname> and create the root dev node under it. BTW, checkroot.sh *does* remove the 'root' node, once the fsck is done, so what's the pollution issue? > An option might be to mount a private tmpfs (aka mounting it, chdir > into it and umounting it, thus making it available only to the process > running within it), but this will not make the life of mtab.sh easier.
