Critical option -F at system/mountfs/this #6
Description
Reported-by: thomas
Sometimes InitNG hangs on checkfs (last output). I tested around and found out,
that the problem is at system/mountfs/this. For me the '-F' option ist
critical. I have mounts like "/mnt/portage/portage.img on /usr/portage",
"/mnt/ocz/home on /home" and some other. If I remove the '-F' option from
mountfs/this no problem occurs. I had it changed for the last month with no
problems, but due an update I got the old mountfs/this file and got attentive
again to this problem.
I think there may be more problems with '-F', especially with many more
binds. So securely disabled it (git).
Yes, and on system/mountfs/network '-F' is used too. But I think there it is useful, because netmounts won't have that bind structure mostly. And it's a big speed up, too. -- thomas
