devpts is the Unix98 Pty (pseudo-tty) support that more and more applications are coming to depend upon. You want this. There's a script in /etc/init.d that will mount it for you if you do not explicitly do it in /etc/fstab.
And of course everyone knows what /proc is. ----- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.moonkingdom.net/mwilson -----Original Message----- From: frosty [mailto:frosty] On Behalf Of John Foster Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 9:42 AM To: Debian Users Subject: More Sid/unstable wierdness. I am still battling a recent Sid upgrade that fried my test site file system. My main problem is that the kernel boots into runlevel2 with the / file system mounted as read-only. I tried several ideas (thanks Osamu) to remount the system to no avail. I decided to try to find exactly what is going on by getting all of the mount info. ------------------------------------------------- $mount /dev/hdc1 on / type ext2 (rw, errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type pts (rw, gid=5, mode=620) -------------------stuff snipped------------------ The rest of the output looked ok. What is the last line? I have not ever seen that before. I have NOT installed/enabled any other file system than ext2 for my kernel. I seem to remember avoiding something like this when I compiled the kernel, so what is it doing in my system? Any ides. Thanks.
