[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] /dev/shm and /dev/pts with newer kernels than etch

[Lior Kaplan]

Hi,

I'm using unstable, and when I'm trying kernels 2.6.21 and 2.6.22 I
encountering two problems during the boot:

1. /dev/shm doesn't get mounted due to /dev/shm not available.
2. /dev/pts doesn't get mounted.

for /dev/shm I would suggest something like:
        if [ ! -d /dev/shm ]
        then
                mkdir /dev/shm
        fi
Before the mount itself in mountdevsubfs.sh

For /dev/pts, I saw the comments inside the scripts about devfs, but
etch release notes says "etch kernels no longer provide support for devfs."

Can we remove the devfs checks for /dev/pts and get that automatically
mounted ? I'm referring to "grep -qs '/dev devfs' /proc/mounts;"

thanks.
