[Bug 320623] Re: Some problems with mount --bind -o bind syntax

[Phillip Susi]

I don't understand the purpose of this.  The old syntax still works, so
why change?

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
  Binary package hint: busybox
  Binary package hint: live-initramfs

  This is a somewhat metabug because it is not very clear to which
  package it is the bug from.

  The bug is explained here:
  https://forja.rediris.es/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=255&group_id=428&atid=1577
  (A tar.gz with the patch is available to download in the url).

  Here there is a summary:

  Whenever you try to set up: Fully Automatic Installation (FAI) package
  in Ubuntu 8.10 to server Ubuntu 8.10 (instead of default Ubuntu 8.04)
  the initramfs-tools scripts that are run at boot uses sometimes the
  new mount syntax:

  mount --bind syntax instead of the old one mount -o bind that should
  one. Sometimes it is viceversa.

  In my opinnion FAI uses live-initramfs package but it does not matter
  because live-initramfs uses some of the initramfs-tools scripts
  whenever running its mkinitrd equivalent.

  The patch it is designed so that you can use it interactively whenever
  you try to install an installation client.

  There are also problems about ld.so.conf configuration being lost
  without any apparent reason.
