improperly when handling Unionfs mounts.

2.
3.

Actual Results:  
/etc/fstab is always empty

Expected Results:  
a formated /etc/fstab

Sorry if I am just being dense (as I'm sure that I am) but I don't see a
difference between what is there before the patch and what is there afterwards.
 The sed looks the same.  What exactly is this changing?

Comment 3 postmodern 2005-10-28 12:25:17 UTC

Before the patch cat is reading the same file that the command is outputting to.
This produces an fstab that's empty.

All I did was output to "fstab.new" and mv's it to "fstab".

OK... so I was just being dense... makes perfect sense now... thanks...

I've added this to CVS, so it should show up in the next version of genkernel...
