During the early stages of boot /sbin/init mounts /proc so that it can check for the presence of SE Linux. After it has finished doing the SE Linux stuff it will umount /proc. What I want to know is, why umount /proc? Why not just leave it mounted? It seems a waste to umount it when you are just going to mount it again later. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
