I have two similar but not identical ~amd64 machines, and *one* of the |
| 2 |
two machines is doing something new and strange when I type "mount" with |
| 3 |
no arguments. |

|
| 5 |
The "bad" machine prints the list of mounted filesystems as it should, |
| 6 |
but then proceeds to read the partition table on every disk in the machine |
| 7 |
and writes a fresh version of /run/blkid/blkid.tab . |

This has the very annoying side effect of spinning up any sleeping disks, |
| 10 |
including the floppy disk (but not the dvd player, thankfully). |
| 11 |
|

I re-installed util-linux, which installs the "mount" utility, but no |
| 13 |
difference. (The two machines both have util-linux-2.26.1-r1). |

This new behavior began on April 14, FWIW, and the only package I installed |
| 16 |
on that machine that day was gentoo-sources-3.14.38, which is why I blamed |
| 17 |
the new kernel for the new behavior but I discovered since then that it |
| 18 |
happens with all the old kernels too. |

I'm stumped. Any ideas? |
