Note the information in this file is in reverse order. +## OpenRC-0.18.3 + +Modern Linux systems expect /etc/mtab to be a symbolic link to +/proc/self/mounts. Reasons for this change include support for mount +namespaces, which will not work if /etc/mtab is a file. +By default, the mtab service enforces this on each reboot. + +If you find that this breaks your system in some way, please do the +following: + +- Set mtab_is_file=yes in /etc/conf.d/mtab. + +- Restart mtab. This will recreate the /etc/mtab file. + +- Check for an issue on https://github.com/openrc/openrc/issues + explaining why you need /etc/mtab to be a file. If there isn't one, + please open one and explain in detail why you need this to be a file. + If there is one, please add your comments to it. Please give concrete + examples of why it is important that /etc/mtab be a file instead of a + symbolic link. Those comments will be taken into consideration for how + long to keep supporting mtab as a file or when the support can be + removed. + ## OpenRC-0.18 The behaviour of localmount and netmount in this version is changing.
