[arch-dev-public] [signoff] util-linux-2.20-3
Hi guys, A new util-linux is in [testing]. Changes: * add to patches from upstream, in particular fixing <https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26059> and <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=737091>. * enable libmount With libmount we get support for /etc/mtab being both a regular file and a symlink to /proc/self/mountinfo. The latter is "the future", but we won't force that as not all mount helpers (such as cifs, fuse, ntfs and nfs) have been ported yet. If you don't use any of the unported mount helpers, you can delete /etc/mtab and make it a symlink manually. I'd especially appreciate signoffs from people using the unported helpers, and especially with the "user" mount option, or anything else non-standard. There was a problem with this when we tried libmount with util-linux 2.19.1, but I (and Dave) could not reproduce this with 2.20. Please test and signoff. Cheers, Tom

NTFS and SSHFS mounting still works. Signoff x86_64.

This should be /proc/self/mounts. Not mountinfo.

I do not use any of those helpers, but I will throw an i686 signoff your way. Allan
