Description Warren Togami 2008-08-05 16:47:09 UTC

Please remove /etc/mtab from the default /etc/rwtab shipped in initscripts.

Due to Bug #214891 /etc/mtab in rwtab was never useful.  Until that bug is fixed or we have union mounts, symlinking /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts is the standard for read-only roots.

With /etc/mtab in rwtab an ugly error message happens during boot.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.
