From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2004 18:17:11 +0000 Subject: udev script does NOT mount /dev/pts as claimed by debian maintainer Message-Id: <20040815181711.GK11256@lkcl.net> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: 258214@bugs.debian.org, SE-Linux , Linux Hotplug Dev List the debian maintainer for udev claims in his response to closing the above bugreport that: "> initscript it unmounts /dev/pts because udev mounts > a tmpfs over /dev. The problem is that it does not seem to mount it > again. And it does not need to, S36mountvirtfs does. " i have looked in /etc/rcS.d for S36mountvirtfs and i am sorry to have to report that it does not exist. [on debian/unstable, initscripts version 2.86-1 or 2.85-22.se2] i upgraded initscripts temporarily from version 2.85-22.se2 to version 2.86-1 in order to check: i found that in both cases, /etc/rcS.d/S36mountvirtfs did not exist. [maybe this is one of the reasons why i cannot see shmfs unless i specify enforcing=0 but hey, that's another story] so: - the bug reported by mario boikov is still unresolved; - initscripts appears to have a bug in it where there is a missing symlink in /etc/rcS.d; - some of the dependencies of udev-0.030 are broken: udev-0.030 should depend on a version of initscripts that has the S36mountvirtfs symlink, and it does not. the temporary fix is, like /etc/init.d/udev's "stop" case, to add /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs start into the "start" case (as previously attached). l. -- -- Truth, honesty and respect are rare commodities that all spring from the same well: Love.
