--- Begin Message ---Package: hurd Version: 1:0.5.git20140203-1 Severity: important Tags: patch At the moment in unstable when booting Hurd using sysvinit, df and friends do not work because /var/run/mtab do not exist. It should point to /proc/mounts, and this is done in /etc/hurd/rc when not booting using sysvinit. Instead of creating the symlink in /etc/hurd/rc, I suggest to create a new init.d script to create this symlink, and drop the code from /etc/hurd/rc. The following script is tested and found to be working well. It creates /run/mtab because /var/run is a symlink to /run. #! /bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: hurd-mtab # Required-Start: mountkernfs # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: # Short-Description: Create /run/mtab -> /proc/mount symlink on Hurd ### END INIT INFO # Author: Petter Reinholdtsen # PATH should only include /usr/* if it runs after the mountnfs.sh script PATH=/sbin:/bin # Load the VERBOSE setting and other rcS variables . /lib/init/vars.sh # Define LSB log_* functions. # Depend on lsb-base (>= 3.2-14) to ensure that this file is present # and status_of_proc is working. . /lib/lsb/init-functions case "$1" in start) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_action_begin_msg "Creating /run/mtab symlink" ln -s /proc/mount /run/mtab case "$?" in 0|1) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_action_end_msg 0 ;; 2) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_action_end_msg 1 ;; esac ;; stop|restart|force-reload|status) ;; *) echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|status|restart|force-reload}" >&2 exit 3 ;; esac : -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
