Now if we remove the device that is specified when mounting, btrfs will update the mount information in /proc, such as the information in /proc/mounts. So in order to guarantee the consistency between /etc/mtab and the mount information in /proc, we must update /etc/mtab. This patch does it. This patch need libmount and libmount-devel(version >= 2.19) packages to compile.Does this work well with say Fedora where /etc/mtab is just a symlink to /proc/mounts? Thanks,
Yes, if /etc/mtab is not a regular file, we will skip the update. And I have do some test for it and all of them passed. This patch can not work well on your machine? Thanks Miao
