[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#656151: initscripts: /etc/mtab symlink to /proc/mounts impairs mount.nilfs2 [nilfs-tools]

[mtths at nurfuerspam.de]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-18
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

since mount.nilfs2 wants to write to /etc/mtab, a symlink to /proc/mounts
prevents it and results in not starting nilfs_cleanerd (the garbage
collector), so that the filesystem unnecessarily will run out of space.

Kind regards,
Matthias
