In the above, /compat is a link to usr/compat. (note the - symbol) I suspect that you cannot mount on a link, and that mount doesn't follow links. You probably would have to mount on /usr/compat directly or make /compat a real directory and not a link or something. jerry BTW I'm running 6.1 (upgraded from an original 5.3 install) Usually an output of uname -a is much more informative here. 6.1 may mean release, release + security patches, stable...

Mounting Linux Procfs at Boot
What's the canonical way of mounting the Linux procfs at boot-time? I've seen several recommendations to add the following to fstab: linproc/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 But in a standard installation, this mount-point is really under /usr, which isn't mounted until pass 2. If I change the pass number to 2, it fails with an unexpected inconsistencies error. I presume this is because mount is trying to fsck it, and failing to find fsck_linprocfs. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
