Ah, sorry, didn't notice.

To fix shm you should add "mode=1777" to the options. What is your use
case here btw? Pulseaudio?

Glibc should be able to create pts devices in /dev/pts even if it is
owned by root (using /usr/lib/pt_chown). However, if that does not
work you could try adding "guid=5,mode=620" to the options. Out of
curiosity, how exactly do you reproduce this bug?

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,

Tom

PS

Does anyone else out there know why our standard /etc/fstab is not
something like:


# <file system> <dir>           <type>  <options>
                                 <dump>  <pass>
devpts          /dev/pts        devpts  nosuid,noexec,guid=5,mode=620
                                 0       0
tmpfs           /dev/shm        tmpfs   nosuid,noexec,nodev,mode=1777
                                 0       0
