Package: systemd
Version: 232-23
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After having upgraded to Stretch, I noticed that
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service attempts to create /etc/mtab as
configured in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/debian.conf. Unfortunately, this
does not work on some of my machines where / is mounted read-only and
consequently, systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service fails.
Moreover, this step does not seem to be necessary, as /etc/mtab is
symlinked to /proc/mounts after a fresh debootstrap. /proc/mounts in
turn symlinks to /proc/self/mounts, the same file as configured in
/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/debian.conf.
What exactly are the reasons for re-creating /etc/mtab on every boot? Is
this step really necessary?
For now, I just use Jessie's version of /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/debian.conf.
Best,
Maximilian Stein
