how to suppress mount warning in chapter 6

[marconigarcia@…]

in chapter 6, section "mounting the proc and devpts file systems", the mount warning message can be suppressed if you pass the -n switch option to the command.

we should have:

mount -n proc /proc -t proc mount -n devpts /dev/pts -t devpts

thanks

Is this "mount warning message" even an issue anymore? I thought we got rid of it when switching to the new Ch 5 build method where a Glibc is installed in Ch 5 and the mount binary is no longer statically linked. Can someone please confirm if they still see it?

If not an issue anymore, let's just kill the warning.

Even if it is, we are looking at doing the mounting of the virtual file systems from outside the chroot which will negate the problem. See Bug 688.

But this suggestion of using "-n" mount option is not a bad one.

There are some unwanted side effects from using the "-n" option. See here for the details:

Thanks for the suggestion anyway. But we're closing this entry as wontfix.
