Here's something odd, I don't have that line in mine. |
96 |
|
97 |
root@smoker / # cat /etc/fstab | grep /dev/pts |
98 |
root@smoker / # |
99 |
|
100 |
However it is mounted: |
101 |
|
102 |
root@smoker / # mount | grep /dev/pts |
103 |
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620) |
104 |
root@smoker / # |
105 |
|
106 |
Mine is a old install with a really old fstab so that may matter. I'm |
107 |
still on the old baselayout and openrc too. |
