[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#422940: initscripts: usbfs not mounted anymore during system bootup

[Stanislav Maslovski]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-55
Followup-For: Bug #422940


I have noticed the same after deleting usbfs line from my
fstab. It has been there for ages, I just wanted to test
how the mounting is done nowadays and found this bug.

I think that the initscripts maintainer should remove the
corresponding part of the script and state somewhere in
the docs that usbfs should be explicitly mounted from
fstab or by other means if needed. This way we will get
consistent behavior for modular and statically linked kernels.
