You have it > in your fstab. you've cut email too much, so lets get this stright:
1. you said there's no point of "mount --move" without updating fstab. i assume you're referring that /var/log/archiv mountpoint got changed to /var/log/archive with "mount --move", and old mountpoint made symlink. 2. i replied that it's irrelevant, because mount to destination being symlink works same way. that means mount /dev/path /var/log/archiv (archiv being symlink) works the same way. and to demonstrate that, i've shown (cut in this email already) that i mounted old path (archiv) and data got mounted as expected. and to be sure that 2.4 doesn't behave differently, i tested --move and mounting to symlink on 2.4 kernel. no side effects noticed. -- glen _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
