Please find attached a patch to do
* absent options in fstab
* multiple fstypes: ext2,ext3
* auto fstype.
We could use blkid to verify the fstype even if it's given explicitly
in /etc/fstab, then do an error message if there's no match so the
image would not boot. Somehow I get the impression that's an improvement
that would not be much appreciated today ...
Regards,
Erik
This is the test set used to make the patch:
#
# This is true; works
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b ext3 defaults,noauto 0 2
# This is a lie, its ext3 -- mount complains 'wrong fstype or
superblock'.
# Expect yaird to fail at boot time.
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b vfat defaults,noauto 0 2
# this is successful -- do two mount system calls, both fs types.
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b vfat,ext3 defaults,noauto 0 2
# Works, but complains about unknown fstype '' if it was already mounted
# deviant repeat errors not tested for other variants.
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b vfat,ext3, defaults,noauto 0 2
# Works
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b ,vfat,ext3 defaults,noauto 0 2
# Works
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b vfat,,ext3 defaults,noauto 0 2
# Fails
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b ,, defaults,noauto 0 2
# this works -- courtesy of blkid libaries
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b auto defaults,noauto 0 2
# this works - fsck stuff is optional
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b ext3 defaults,noauto
# this also works
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b ext3
# this breaks -- mount complains unknown fstype ''
# /dev/mapper/vg0-tst /b
