Both of these issues were due to /etc/mtab being inconsistent with reality. I've now corrected the code to make domtab() behave identically to domount() to ensure that they are always working in the same manner. Once /run is established, I wonder if moving /etc/mtab to /run/mtab would be feasible, since it would mean this complex and hairy setup could be dropped entirely. The patches for base-files and initscripts have now been tested on linux and freebsd and are TTBOMK good to go. GNU/Hurd might also need some special casing adding--if any Hurd developers would care to check over the changes that would be great. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
