Package: util-linux Version: 2.13.1-5 Severity: normal I'd like to be able to symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts on some systems without seeing this error each time mount.nfs runs:
Can't set permissions on mtab: Operation not permitted mount.nfs opens, and writes to /proc/mounts w/o errors since the kernel throws the write away, but the fchmod fails. The corresponding code in util-linux's mount checks if mtab is a symlink and avoids writing or chmoding it in that case. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080405-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libselinux1 2.0.59-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libslang2 2.1.3-3 The S-Lang programming library - r ii libuuid1 1.40.8-2 universally unique id library ii lsb-base 3.2-8 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii tzdata 2008b-1 time zone and daylight-saving time ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime util-linux recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
