Hi, when testing my other patches, the following came up: with absolute pathname: # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/x # ps ax | grep [n]ilfs_cleanerd 30408 ? Ss 0:00 /sbin/nilfs_cleanerd -n /dev/sdb2 /mnt/x with relative mountpoint pathname: # umount /mnt/x # cd /mnt # mount /dev/sdb2 x # ps ax | grep [n]ilfs_cleanerd ((no such process)) with relative device pathname: # umount /mnt/x # cd /dev # mount sdb2 /mnt/x # ps ax | grep [n]ilfs_cleanerd ((no such process)) This is due to chdir(ROOTDIR) in daemonize(); currently daemonize is always called with nochdir == 0. Should I hardcode it to nochdir == 1 or canonicalize the `dev' and `dir' arguments with myrealpath()? -- dexen deVries [[[â][â]]] 47.
