Subject: umount -a

Message-ID: <4E387230.5060002@gmail.com> (raw)

At linuxfromscratch, we've just made some changes to write bootscript 
messages to /run/var.  This seems to work fine for us until shutdown where

   umaount -a

unmounts /run which is mounted as a tmpfs.  We can certainly work around 
the problem, but was wondering if this issue may also affect others.

The man page for umount says:

  -a     All of the file systems described in /etc/mtab are unmounted.
(With umount version 2.7 and later: the proc filesystem is not
unmounted.)

Would it be reasonable to change umount -a to also omit /run if it is 
mounted as a tmpfs?
