[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#351497: initscripts: possibly wrong comment in /etc/init.d/umountfs

[Marc Haber]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-11
Severity: normal

Hi,

this is from /etc/init.d/umountfs:

	# List all mounts, deepest mount point first
	LC_ALL=C sort -r -k 2 /proc/mounts | 

I don't see any "deepest mount point first" here, the sort will just
sort the mounts alphabetically reversed:

$ LC_ALL=C sort -r -k 2 /proc/mounts
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0
/dev/mapper/vg0-var /mnt/var ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/mapper/vg0-usr /mnt/usr ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/mapper/vg0-home /mnt/home ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
sysfs /mnt/bigstuff/home/mh/chroot/sid/sys sysfs rw 0 0
usbfs /mnt/bigstuff/home/mh/chroot/sid/proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
proc /mnt/bigstuff/home/mh/chroot/sid/proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0
tmpfs /mnt/bigstuff/home/mh/chroot/sid/dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /mnt/bigstuff/home/mh/chroot/sid/dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
/dev/mapper/vg0-bigstuff /mnt/bigstuff ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
/dev/root /dev/.static/dev ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
$

I think the comment is correct and the code wrong, hence the "normal"
severity.

Greetings
Marc
