On Alpine linux, busybox is configured with
CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_HELPERS=y and a nilfs2 filesystem does
successfully mount from fstab with busybox mount, however, the
nilfs_cleanerd process is not automatically started. From the
nilfs_cleanerd documentation:
> This program can be invoked either automatically by mount.nilfs2(8) or manually by \
> an administrator. However, users are recommended to invoke nilfs_cleanerd through \
> mount.nilfs2(8) or mount(8) and shutdown it through umount.nilfs2(8) or umount(8) \
> in order to avoid state inconsistencies among administration tools.
Switching to util-linux mount does result in nilfs_cleanerd being
started automatically so my tentative conclusion is that util-linux
mount will always use a mount helper when available (unless called
with -i) and busybox mount will use the helper only after a "generic"
mount attempt fails. Is that correct? If so, would you consider
reversing the order?
Thanks,
Carl
