Well locally I have symlinked /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts since: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f84e3f52 So this would not break anything for me. Also I understand Fedora 15 will symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/mount too. What about older kernels though? I'm wondering should suse be considering making the symlink also, or otherwise keeping /etc/mtab in sync? It seems a bit like this gnulib change is doing it in the wrong place. I've cc'd the util-linux guys who know much more about this than me. cheers, Pádraig. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
