Long story short: It won't work directly, the Debian kernel is too old. mountall uses pipe2 (http://www.kernel.org/doc/man- pages/online/pages/man2/pipe.2.html) when mounting. Therefore in mountall.c in the function 'spawn' the following line: NIH_ZERO (pipe2 (fds, O_CLOEXEC)); causes an infinite loop since pipe2 is not available in 2.6.26. A newer kernel is required to make this work.
The non-working syscall hence is pipe2. -- mountall gets stuck in a busywait while mounting /sys/kernel/debug when running on Xen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469985 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
