recently, i re-emerged 'baselayout', |
| 2 |
which caused a set of candidates to be created for 'etc-update'. |
| 3 |
most were innocuous or easily understood, |
| 4 |
but one was for /etc/fstab , which seems both dangerous & unjustified. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
my existing /etc/fstab is (omitting comment lines): |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 |
| 9 |
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 |
| 10 |
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs notail,noatime 1 1 |
| 11 |
/dev/hda5 /usr/local reiserfs notail,noatime 1 2 |
| 12 |
/dev/hda6 /home reiserfs notail,noatime 1 2 |
| 13 |
/dev/hda7 /ya reiserfs notail,noatime 1 2 |
| 14 |
/dev/hda8 /yb reiserfs noauto,notail,noatime 1 2 |
| 15 |
/dev/hda9 /z reiserfs notail,noatime 1 2 |
| 16 |
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 |
| 17 |
none /proc proc defaults 0 0 |
| 18 |
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
the new one created by 'baselayout' ( ._cfg0000_fstab ) is : |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
/dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1 |
| 23 |
/dev/ROOT / xfs noatime 0 0 |
| 24 |
/dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0 |
| 25 |
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 |
| 26 |
none /proc proc defaults 0 0 |
| 27 |
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
NB esp that / is shown as 'xfs' a/a the correct 'reiserfs'. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
why does 'baselayout' want to rewrite /etc/fstab at all ? |
| 32 |
why does it want to misidentify the type of file system ? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
this looks like something which deserves attention & possible remedy. |
