Chap 6.6 instruction is to create mtab using
{{{
touch /etc/mtab
}}}
This cause one coreutils-8.19 test to fail (df/total-unprocessed) and some
other to be skipped, sometime for unclear reason when main partition is
not XFS like
{{{
skip-seek-past-dev: skipped test: failed to determine size of -
SKIP: dd/skip-seek-past-dev
or
slink: skipped test: '.' is on an XFS file system
SKIP: du/slink
}}}
.
A better and still simple way to create /etc/mtab is using
{{{
grep ' / ' /proc/mounts >/etc/mtab
}}}
You may consider too adding /proc, /sys, dev/pts, /dev/shm to mtab too. I
haven't tested without.
