I've been trying to debug a problem where one laptop's networking, as |
| 2 |
controlled by wicd, seems to randomly go offline once in awhile. In |
| 3 |
the process of reviewing 5 machines I ran across an inconsistency |
| 4 |
across a bunch of my machines, new and old. It seems some of them |
| 5 |
mount proc in fstab while others do not. Some of these machines have |
| 6 |
been around for a few years not mounting proc and except for the |
| 7 |
laptop's networking issues there really haven't been any problems. |

Looking at the Gentoo amd64 install guide here: |

it appears that the recommendation is to mount proc. |

What would the issues be with proc not mounted? For instance, this |
| 30 |
machine doesn't mount proc in fstab but still has proc: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
laptop1 ~ # cat /etc/fstab |
| 33 |
<SNIP> |
| 34 |
/dev/sdb1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 |
| 35 |
/dev/sdb4 / ext3 noatime 0 1 |
| 36 |
/dev/sdb2 none swap sw 0 0 |
| 37 |
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0 |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
shm /dev/shm tmpfs |
| 40 |
nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
