<title>Creating the /etc/mtab symlink</title>
<?dbhtml filename="mtablink.html" dir="chapter06"?>
<para>The next thing to do is to create a symlink pointing from
/etc/mtab to /proc/mounts. This is done using the following
command:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Creating this symlink avoids problems which can occur if / is
mounted read-only and the information in /etc/mtab is stale (i.e. out of
date). By creating the symlink to /proc/mounts, we ensure that
/etc/mtab will always be up-to-date.</para>
<para>Note that using this symlink requires that you have /proc
filesystem support compiled into your kernel. This is included by
default and should not be removed unless you <emphasis>really</emphasis>
know what you are doing as many more things than just the /etc/mtab
symlink depend on /proc being present. In summary, make sure you have
/proc filesystem support in your kernel.</para>
