[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#331397: initscripts: mountall.sh should skip procfs

[Adrian Bridgett]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-3

mountall.sh doesn't skip mounting /proc (which is done earlier by
mountvirtfs (and udev too if it needs to)).

This causes the mount command to fail and this gets flagged as a
failure in bright red colours (hence why it was noticed :-))

Adding "noproc" to the list of filesystems fixed the problem.

Looking at the code, I think it will only be flagged if there are no
other localfilesystems.  In this case the user had:

/cdrom
swap
/
/proc

swap and / were okay, /cdrom was skipped due to the noauto keyword.
