Bug#656151: initscripts: /etc/mtab symlink to /proc/mounts impairs mount.nilfs2 [nilfs-tools]
reassign 656151 nilfs-tools severity 656151 important thanks On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 11:20:19PM +0100, mt...@nurfuerspam.de wrote: since mount.nilfs2 wants to write to /etc/mtab, a symlink to /proc/mounts prevents it and results in not starting nilfs_cleanerd (the garbage collector), so that the filesystem unnecessarily will run out of space. Writing to /etc/mtab is no longer allowed. This means that nilfs-tools mount.nilfs2 needs updating to use libmount, like all of the other mount helpers have already done. This is not a bug in initscripts, hence I'm reassigning to nilfs-tools. If this causes dataloss, please upgrade the severity to serious. If this bug has not been reported to the nilfs-tools upstream, it should also be done. Regards, Roger -- .''`.

Package: initscripts Version: 2.88dsf-18 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, since mount.nilfs2 wants to write to /etc/mtab, a symlink to /proc/mounts prevents it and results in not starting nilfs_cleanerd (the garbage collector), so that the filesystem unnecessarily will run out of space.
