Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Make NFS root work again
Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2007 17:40:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070607164003.24322.51086.stgit@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com> (raw)
Make NFS root work by creating a "/root" directory to satisfy the mount,
otherwise the path lookup for the mount fails with ENOENT.
