[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#359651: mountall.sh: additional proc mountpoints (for chroots) are not mounted

[Christian Frommeyer]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-13
Severity: normal


Hi,

in the do_start() function in mountall.sh first all proc-type Filesystems
are mounted and after that all non-proc Filesystems this causes the
following problem:

I have got the following in my fstab (and some more of course):
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
[...]
/dev/sda6       /var            ext3    defaults        0       2
[...]
proc     /var/chroot/sid-ia32/proc       proc    defaults        0	0

When mounting proc filesystems /var/chroot/sid-ia32/proc is not mounted
because /var is not mounted. Wenn mounting the other filesystems its not
mounted because its a proc filesystem. Thus I have to mount it manually to
use my chroot.
Perhaps it's an option to leave out the noproc statement but yes there was
this other problem resulding in a failure if only proc has to be mounted and
is already.

Thank for all help to come ;)

Chris
