From: Thomas Bächler <thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit a2a4dc494a7b7135f460e38e788c4a58f65e4ac3 upstream. Commit 9e30cc9595303b27b48 removed an internal mount. This has the side-effect that rootfs now has FSID 0. Many userspace utilities assume that st_dev in struct stat is never 0, so this change breaks a number of tools in early userspace. Since we don't know how many userspace programs are affected, make sure that FSID is at least 1.
