[Comment 4 William Hubbs 2011-09-02 03:13:28 UTC]

The "! -w" portion of this patch is not correct because we only want to
test for whether or not /etc/mtab is a symbolic link. If it is, we do
not update it. Also, the comment is incorrect for the same reason.

[Comment 5 William Hubbs 2011-09-02 07:17:24 UTC]

The issue was the use of -l instead of -L in the if statement.
This has been fixed in commit 7a6dbed and will be included in the next
release of openrc.

Thanks for the report.
