This causes problems for some distributions running as UML systems using the user-mode-linux kernel, including Debian, which relies on the timestamp of /proc to clear out the contents of /var/run and /var/lock. Comments in the "bootmisc.sh" initscript indicate that the /proc timestamp is normally the time at which /proc is mounted. I have also seen this issue with every other UML kernel to which I have access, and so I believe it is probably an upstream bug. -- --< ((\))< >----< inkblot@movealong.org >----< http://www.movealong.org/ >-- pub 1024D/05A058E0 2002-03-07 Nate Riffe (06-Mar-2002) Key fingerprint = 0DAC F5CB D182 3165 D757 C466 CD42 12A8 05A0 58E0 ----- End forwarded message ----- -- - mdz ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
