As part of the system startup, the script /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh remounts the root filesystem read-write. To do this it uses the command "mount / -n -o remount,rw &>/dev/null" (The remount statement to remount the root fs read-only is broken in the same way.) The order of the arguments to mount are in the wrong order: POSIX and Single Unix Specification explicitly require options to be written before all other command line arguments. The correct statement would be: "mount -n -o remount,rw / &>/dev/null" While this might seem cosmetic, it might cause breakage when linking mount against a libc that strictly follows POSIX. It is also trivial to fix ;-)
fixed in cvs, thanks
