[Users] Strange mount problem

[Marc Peiser]

Hi Scott,

You are correct, /etc/mtab was not a symlink. I deleted it and created
a symlink but when I restart the container it's back to a normal file
again:

[root at va-webdav /]# rm -rf /etc/mtab
[root at va-webdav /]# ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
[root at va-webdav /]# ls -l /etc/mtab
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 27 12:37 /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts
[root at va-webdav /]# init 6
[root at va-webdav /]# got signal 15
                                 exited from CT 233
[root at lnxsvr2 ~]# vzenter 233
entered into CT 233
[root at va-webdav /]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[root at va-webdav /]# ls -l /etc/mtab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77 Jun 27 12:38 /etc/mtab

Thanks,
Marc
