I think you would also need to: # kill -USR1 1 which signals the running init (pid 1) to open that newly-created FIFO, and start listening for commands. > > Do you have anything 'unusual' in /etc/fstab? > Nothing unusual.

Well, they can't possibly *all* be missing (/proc/mounts itself is on /proc!). Could you perhaps share the contents of your /proc/mounts?
