Apologies if this gets sent out twice, I haven't seen it appear on the list yet. Erik, Bummer, thought I found a bug. mtab seems to be behaving fine. It's simply a representation of what's currently mounted? [root@thisbox log]# ls -l /etc/mtab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 301 Oct 10 08:22 /etc/mtab [root@thisbox log]# cat /etc/mtab none /proc proc rw 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0 /dev/hde1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/hde5 /home ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/hde11 /tmp ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/hde6 /usr ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/hde7 /usr/local ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/hde9 /var ext3 rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 [root@thisbox log]# mount /dev/hde10 on / type ext3 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) /dev/hde1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/hde5 on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/hde11 on /tmp type ext3 (rw) /dev/hde6 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/hde7 on /usr/local type ext3 (rw) /dev/hde9 on /var type ext3 (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) # output of strace open("/etc/mtab", O_RDONLY) = 4 error: failed to open /etc/mtab for reading Oddly enough, I don't see / listed in the mtab. Not sure if that's any kind of indication. Otherwise, looks normal to me. -- Christopher Keller Systems Engineer BeamReach Networks -- Sunnyvale, CA _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
