[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#683309: Removal of /etc/mtab breaks auto-cleanup of loop devices

[Steve McIntyre]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-22.1
Severity: important

Since the move to remove /etc/mtab and link it to /proc/mounts, loop
mounts no longer clean up the used loopback devices after unmount. It
seems the loopback code in mount/unmount needs the information in mtab
to do this automatically.
