The mount -f command does not seem to put anything into the /etc/mtab
file. I have compiled in mount and mtab support into busybox;
#
# Common options for ls and more
#
CONFIG_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH=y
# CONFIG_PIVOT_ROOT is not set
# CONFIG_RDATE is not set
# CONFIG_SWAPONOFF is not set
CONFIG_MOUNT=y
CONFIG_NFSMOUNT=y
# CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_DEVPS_PATCH is not set
CONFIG_UMOUNT=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FORCE=y
#
# Common options for mount/umount
#
CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_LOOP=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT=y
When I issue the command
mount -f /mnt/floppy
the /etc/mtab is still blank. I have an entry in /etc/fstab like
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy msdos noauto 0 1
for the floppy drive.
I want this because the umount -a command unmounts all mount points in
/etc/mtab. So when I do the reboot command, with my /dev/hda2 mounted,
I have to fsck the disk at the next boot. Thus is was not unmounted
correctly. I have this entry for shutdown (ctrl-alt-del) in the inittab
::ctrlaltdel:/bin/umount -a -r
::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r
Did I miss a busybox compile-time option?
