Then we can > say that mtab is really dead. I've just been checking out util-linux and the /etc/mtab symlink in the new Fedora release. Nice job! We're about to put 2.19 in Debian (it's currently in our experimental distribution). Is there a list of helpers and other tools which require conversion to using libmount? I found the NFS patch on the nfs lists and in nfs-utils git. Are there any others we should be aware of in order to make the switch cleanly? I've had a hunt around but I figured it would be easier and more reliable to just ask! Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
