[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#401424: initscripts: please document
layout of valid entry for /sys in /etc/fstab

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-36
Severity: wishlist
As discussed with Petter Reinholdtsen on #pkg-sysvinit the fstab
entry for sysfs (if present) has to look like the entry generated by
the initscripts (mountkernfs.sh + mtab.sh). If that's *not* the
case, booting the system complains about something like:
Will now mount local filesystems:mount: /sys already mounted or /sys busy
mount: according to mtab, sysfs is already mounted on /sys
failed
Important is that the sysfs entry in /etc/fstab exactly looks like
the entry generated by the "domount sysfs ..." command of the
initscripts. Therefore a valid fstab-entry for sysfs has to look
like:
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
Please document this behaviour in README.Debian.
