Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-11 Severity: normal
/etc/init.d/mountkernfs performs an availability check for tmpfs before attempting to mount tmpfs like this:
tmpfs_avail=`grep -ci '[<[:space:]]tmpfs' /proc/filesystems || true` ...
if [ "$tmpfs_avail" != 0 ] || [ "$shmfs_avail" != 0 ] then ...
Now, on my sytem tmpfs is not enabled in the kernel:
spleen:~# grep -i tmpfs /boot/config-2.4.24 # CONFIG_TMPFS is not set spleen:~#
however, this availability test is still true:
spleen:~# grep -i tmpfs /proc/filesystems nodev tmpfs spleen:~# grep -ci '[<[:space:]]tmpfs' /proc/filesystems 1 spleen:~#
And so mounting tmpfs at boot fails with an error message.
After recompiling the kernel and enabling tmpfs, the check produces the same results:
spleen:~# grep -i tmpfs /boot/config-2.4.24 CONFIG_TMPFS=y spleen:~# grep -i tmpfs /proc/filesystems nodev tmpfs spleen:~# grep -ci '[<[:space:]]tmpfs' /proc/filesystems 1 spleen:~#
I don't know why /proc/filesytems shows tmpfs even if it's not compiled in...
