Description of problem: dracut's mount/99mount-root.sh just searches the first line in $NEWROOT/etc/fstab which has '/' as the second word. This fails badly if you have this in your fstab: #/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 1 1 Which I happen to had after replacing my harddisk and switching to ext4 at this opportunity. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-004-4.fc12.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a commented line in your fstab with / as the second word and some file system that does not match you / fs, e.g. #/dev/blub / fat 0 0 2. reboot 3. watch dracut failing Actual results: remounting the root fs fails Expected results: remounting the root fs suceeds Additional info: man 5 fstab says "The proper way to read records from fstab is to use the routines getmntent(3)." Maybe we should do that :)
