1. The latest git commit in util-linux now has a fix for umount not remounting the root fs read only with a 'umount -a -r' command.
I'm not sure if we should fix that in LFS or just wait until the next release of util-linux. We do have a workaround in place in the mountfs script, and it's a pretty minor issue right now. My inclination is to wait. 2. Also, I did a test of setting /etc/mtab as a symlink to /proc/mounts and it seems to work properly although the output of 'mount' is a bit more verbose. My objection of 'mount' not specifying the device for the rootfs is fixed. I think this is done by reading the root= option on the kernel command line, so it may not work exactly right in all cases. For instance, it may not work if an initramfs is used and the root fs is specified by uuid or label. In any case, should we change the /etc/mtab entry to a symlink? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
