 Posted: Sun Jun 14, 2015 1:30 am Post subject: OpenRC mtab boot message |
 |
|
I did notice a OpenRC boot message about mtab soon going obsolete. The only thing that I can find about this message relates to systemd (see here), a boot-up system that I do not plan on using. There is a section on OpenRC and mtab here, they do not mention linking as the boot-up message says that I need to do (but I won't do that just yet).
Thanks for the help. |

CaptainBlood,
/etc/mtab should not be available inside a chroot.
It tells what is mounted where outside of the chroot.

Ok NS,
Still did it on my VMs via chroot as well, though. Seems to be working fine there anyhow.
EDIT
Install CD, then | Code: | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo
cd /mnt/gentoo/etc
rm mtab
ln -snf /proc/self/mounts mtab
umount /mnt/gentoo
reboot |
EDIIT II : Actually fails 
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support. |

Maf ... ummm, I didn't read the provided links, but I imagine the following should resolve the problem:
| Code: | | # ln -sfn /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab |
HTH & best ... khay |

Yep, it actually helped  Just removing the /etc/mtab was not enough. |
