Changelog
mountall (2.0) lucid; urgency=low
[ Scott James Remnant ]
* "mount" event changed to "mounting", to make it clear it happens
before the filesystem is mounted. Added "mounted" event which
happens afterwards.
* Dropped the internal hooks, these are now better handled by Upstart
jobs on the "mounted" event.
* Dropped the call to restorecon for tmpfs filesystems, this can also be
handled by an Upstart job supplied by SELinux now.
- mounted-dev.conf replaces /dev hook, uses MAKEDEV to make devices.
- mounted-varrun.conf replaces /var/run hook
- mounted-tmp.conf replaces /tmp hook.
+ Hook will be run for any /tmp mountpoint. LP: #478392.
+ Switching back to using "find" fixes $TMPTIME to be in days again,
rathern than hours. LP: #482602
* Try and make mountpoints, though we only care about failure if the
mountpoint is marked "optional" since otherwise the filesystem might
make the mountpoint or something.
* Rather than hiding the built-in mountpoints inside the code, put them
in a new /lib/init/fstab file; that way users can copy the lines into
/etc/fstab if they wish to override them in some interesting way.
* Now supports multiple filesystem types listed in fstab, the whole
comma-separated list is passed to mount and then /proc/self/mountinfo
is reparsed to find out what mount actually did.
* /dev will be mounted as a devtmpfs filesystem if supported by the
kernel (which then does not need to run the /dev hook script).
* Filesystem checks may be forced by adding force-fsck to the kernel
command-line.
* Exit gracefully with an error on failed system calls, don't infinite
loop over them. LP: #469985.
* Use plymouth for all user communication, replacing existing usplash and
console code;
* When plymouth is running, rather than exiting on failures, prompt the
user as to whether to fix the problem (if possible), ignore the problem,
ignore the mountpoint or drop to a maintenance shell. LP: #489474.
* If plymouth is not running for whatever reason, the fallback action
is always to start the recovery shell.
* Adjust the set of filesystems that we wait for by default: LP: #484234.
* Wait for all local filesystems, except those marked with the
"nobootwait" option.
* Wait for remote filesystems mounted as, or under, /usr or /var, and
those marked with the "bootwait" option.
* Always try network mount points, since we allow them to fail silently;
SIGUSR1 now simply retries them once more. LP: #470776.
* Don't retry devices repeatedly. LP: #480564.
* Added manual pages for the events emitted by this tool.
[ Johan Kiviniemi ]
* Start all fsck instances in parallel, but set their priorities so that
thrashing is avoided. LP: #491389.
