Hi guys,
A new and very exciting release of util-linux is imminent. Even though we only have an -rc1 so far, I thought it might be worthwhile to put it out there so people can try it out (in case we want anything fixed before the final release):
Sweet! It was my feeling that we should not throw this in testing, but I'm really glad you're making it available.
I enabled libmount support in mount, but this will probably be reverted before the final release unless we have good reason to believe it to be safe.
To my knowledge, we're still waiting on providers of mount helpers (samba and NFS in particular) to rewrite their helpers to use libmount for parsing /proc/self/mountinfo rather than /etc/mtab.
Major changes:
- agetty gets most of the features from mingetty. - dmesg gets lots of new filtering capabilities - mountpoint moves here from sysvinit (we probably have to manually remove it from the sysvinit package).
I've not enabled mountpoint in util-linux-git, but I include it in the build for myself. Its a drop-in replacement, with a few extra, but minor bells and whistles. I'd be in favor of juggling this when the time comes. d
