Description Sven 2004-06-07 02:35:11 UTC

hi,

in /sbin/rc, line 158, it says
  mount -t sysfs none /sys
but i think it should say
  mount -n -t sysfs none /sys
instead. "-n" is also used for devfs etc...
In addition, i get an error-message on every first boot of a fresh gentoo-system, since mount cannot lock /etc/mtab on a read-only root-fs.



i'm using  sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r2

Reproducible: Always

I'll second this.

Worse than just getting an error though, with a pure udev system, because /sys isn't mounted, the devs for my disk aren't created and I can't boot.

I just added the "-n" and I'm booting OK now.

I don't know why this BUG is upen for so long now. Just add the "-n" to the mount command - "-n" is a harmless option - or can it harm anything? i don't think so.
