When I did emerge -u world yesterday, it updated baselayout.
Since then, my root partition appears in /etc/mstab as :
Code:
/dev/root  /  reiserfs  rw,noatime  0 0

even though I don't have any entry relating to this in /etc/fstab. In fact, fstab contains :
Code:
/dev/hda4  /  reiserfs  notail,noatime  0 0

but this seems to be completely ignored... The whole thing confuses some program like kdiskfree!

I wonder what's going on ? Maybe I could just remove / from fstab, but this feels wrong... And now that / is mounted automagically from /dev/root, how do I specify the notail options ?

Any help appreciated !

By the way, when emerging / updating multiple package at once, is there a way to tell emerge to write all importants messages at the end of the process ? I nearly missed the message at the end of baselayout that told you *not* to keep old versions of the init.d scripts because the syntax has changed...

I've noticed those strange kdiskfree entries too...doesn't seem to cause any problems tho.

The only other thing I found related is this https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=43153&highlight=dev+root+kdiskfree

Does anyone know what is going on here? :-)

I have the same issue, and would appreciate it if there is anyone who can explain this. Here is what my /etc/mtab looks like:

/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0
none /dev devfs rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/hdd1 /mnt/maxlin reiserfs rw,noatime,notail 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0


I thought the first line in mtab should be:

/dev/hdc1 / reiserfs rw,noatime,notail 0 0


My fstab looks like this:

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc1 / reiserfs notail,noatime 0 0
/dev/hdc2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc3 /boot reiserfs notail,noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hdd1 /mnt/maxlin reiserfs notail,noatime 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto,users 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,users 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 noauto,ro,users 0 0

/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom2 auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

Everything works OK, but I don't understand why the /dev/root mount point is being created.

Code:
root @ gandalf $ > df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root              5241840   2136680   2838884  43% /


Same thing here.

Everything works, but, what changed?

This really needs attention. This also screws up quotas. I had to revert back to the old baselayout to get my server working.
