[arch-general] Mounting tmpfs on /dev. Why?
Hi there. I'm newbie in Archlinux and I have another lame question. Recently, I've found that Arch mounts tmpfs on /dev. And, as you may see, this makes big problem to some applications. I see: "none on /dev type tmpfs" in the output of mount program. This mount is not placed in /etc/fstab. So, I think this is done by some of init scripts. I've looked at the /etc/rc.d folder and grep "mount" `find`. But nothing interesting found. I really don't want to mount tmpfs on /dev. How to don't do it? Thanks for patience.

What do you want to do? You seem to be looking for a solution to a problem that I'm not sure exists. -Dan

mount -t tmpfs none /dev/
Thanks for patience.
AlannY,
Recently, I've found that Arch mounts tmpfs on /dev. And, as you may see, this makes big problem to some applications.
i'd call it annoyance, but i cant see big problems for the typical arch user who are loving udev/hal/etc.. Is there anything particular you are experiencing issues with?

"Welcome to archlinux, Violating unix standards while claiming the oposite. We're loving it." I've looked at the /etc/rc.d folder and grep "mount" `find`.
But nothing interesting found.
Its stuffed with other nuisances into /etc/rc.sysinit

Remove the line from the init. Or use heresy alltogether. Read the script. If you dont know what it does, dont touch it and post some actual bugs to the arch devs. -- Arvid

What kind of problems? I don't know of any problems.

This mount is not placed in /etc/fstab.
I'd like you to find any modern Linux distribution that doesn't do it this way. Good luck with that.

In short: You don't, unless you want to rewrite how Arch and its devices work.

isn't Heretic an adjective meaning '20 years old' ? -- Cordialement, Coues Ludovic 06 148 743 42 -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
