RE: More Sid/unstable wierdness.
devpts is the Unix98 Pty (pseudo-tty) support that more and more
applications are coming to depend upon. You want this. There's a script in
/etc/init.d that will mount it for you if you do not explicitly do it in
/etc/fstab.
And of course everyone knows what /proc is.

Subject: More Sid/unstable wierdness.
I am still battling a recent Sid upgrade that fried my test site file
system. My main problem is that the kernel boots into runlevel2 with the
/ file system mounted as read-only. I tried several ideas (thanks Osamu)
to remount the system to no avail. I decided to try to find exactly what
is going on by getting all of the mount info.
-------------------------------------------------
$mount
/dev/hdc1 on / type ext2 (rw, errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type pts (rw, gid=5, mode=620)
-------------------stuff snipped------------------
The rest of the output looked ok. What is the last line? I have not ever
seen that before. I have NOT installed/enabled any other file system
than ext2 for my kernel. I seem to remember avoiding something like this
when I compiled the kernel, so what is it doing in my system? Any ides.
Thanks.
John
