Bug 498206 – =sys-apps/openrc-9999 - init.d/devfs.in: `fstabinfo -q $action /dev' fails

• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Amadeusz Sławiński 2014-01-15 21:34:08 UTC]

So recent changes from 492694 work, but I recently needed to mount /dev according to fstab and had some problems, as it didn't seem to get mounted.

Mount line looks like this:
fstabinfo -q $action /dev
which I presume is wrong, after removing "-q" it works.

Reproducible: Always

The -q option only affects whether or not messages are displayed; it
should have no affect on whether /dev is mounted or not.

Please undo what you did by removing -q then be more specific about the
"problems" that you had.

Thanks,

William

Sorry about that, I am  looking further at fstabinfo...

[Comment 3 William Hubbs 2014-01-18 09:32:17 UTC]

There is a bug in fstabinfo, but removing the -q isn't the fix.
That works, because the issue is that -q makes fstabinfo not try to
mount or remount filesystems when it should just not output information.

I'll write the fix in a few hours.

This is fixed in commit de18640 and will be included in OpenRC-0.13.
In a nutshell, using the -q option on the command line would make
fstabinfo not process the mount/remount options. The fix here was to
process the mount/remount options, regardless of whether -q was given on
the command line.
