If running on a VM and you have guestfish installed, you can make the link using it. Close the VM down
sudo guestfish --rw -a disk.img run mount /dev/sda1 / ln-sf /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab exit Then re-start the VM. Do note that the command is 'ln-sf' and not 'ln -sf'... that had me scratching my head for a while! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1511376 Title: install writes /etc/mtab as file, not symlink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/finish-install/+bug/1511376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
