> mysteriously unmounted without any apparent information. well, there is one more important point I forgot in my previous post: the linux initrd boot concept: all the initialization of spblinux addons is done in initrd (ending with message: Freeing unused kernel memory...) Then /proc/sys/real-root-dev is mounted at / (in case of spblinux /dev/ram1 remains mounted) and /bin/init is started with process id 1 which reads /etc/inittab (in spblinux /etc/init_1st is the first script executed by init) Thus mounting drives could be done as well in /etc/init_1st and maybe in the case of reiserfs it has to be done here because reiserfs uses a (kernel) process to manage its journal which might get destroyed when switching to init Christian |
