Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: normal


Hi,

The /etc/init.d/mountall.sh script prints a red colored error message
"failed!" when /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts.

Here is an excerpt from /var/log/boot that demonstrates the problem,

    Fri Sep 18 13:33:04 2009: done.
    Fri Sep 18 13:33:04 2009: Will now mount local filesystems: 
^[[31mfailed!^[[39;49m
    Fri Sep 18 13:33:04 2009: Will now activate swapfile swap:done.

I tried it both ways, with /etc/mtab as a regular file, and as a symlink
to /proc/mounts - this error only occurs when /etc/mtab is a symlink to
/proc/mounts.

Thanks,

This bug should be fixed by Rogers' rework of the mount handling code that was
part of the /run transition.
