From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently the root_fs's are being created with no /etc/mtab file. /etc/mtab is supposed to be obsolete, but some programs such as mke2fs still expect it to exist. On Debian systems, systemd will automatically symlink /etc/mtab to ../proc/self/mounts as specified by /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/debian.conf. But if the root_fs is used as a chroot (as android-xfstests does), that does not happen, and as of Debian Stretch the 'mount' program from util-linux doesn't create /etc/mtab either. So until nothing else needs it, just make an /etc/mtab symlink while creating the root_fs.
