Ok, thanks, but... and no offense...
I am not willing to gamble on breaking a remotely accessed server based
on someone's 'I believe that this is correct' comment.
When the news item says:
need to verify the fstype for possible /dev line in /etc/fstab is
> devtmpfs (and not, for example, tmpfs)
'Possible /dev line' in no way is clear that it means a line that has
ONLY /dev on it. /dev/shm - which is also of type tmpfs - can easily be
read to be included.
The important thing to note is that entries for precisely /dev and
/proc
Mine has this in it:
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
So, you're saying that this line, that is prefaced with a comment that
says it is CRITICAL FOR BOOT, is not even needed?
This is a server that was initially installed back in 2005, so maybe
this is cruft that is no longer needed?
Obviously I don't understand most of this stuff, so am at the mercy of
those more knowledgeable.
Thanks,
Charles
