Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-4 Severity: minor On a simple single partition system, /proc is the only non-root non-swap non-noauto filesystem in fstab - i.e. it is the only filesystem that is a candidate for 'mount -a'.
When mountall.sh runs, /proc is often already mounted. If this is the case, mount -a fails with exit status 32 "mount failed". If there had been other partitions which did mount at this point, then the exit code would have been 32+64 "mount failed"+"some mounts succeeded" = 96, and the special-casing in mountall.sh would have caught this. This is why the bug is visible only on simple single-partition systems. Note: this _might_ be the cause of #332309, but there's not enough information in that bug to say conclusively whether or not it is the same bug. Max.
