2005-10-25Shaun Jackman noted that limits.h defines path_max and isn't included fromRob Landley
find_root_device.c. (We #include it in busybox.h but not libbb.h, it seems. Someday, someone's going to have to clarify for me the difference between those two...)
2005-08-10Major rewrite of mount, umount, losetup. Untangled lots of code, shrunkRob Landley
things down a bit, fixed a number of funky corner cases, added support for several new features (things like mount --move, mount --bind, lazy unounts, automatic detection of loop mounts, and so on). Probably broke several other things, but it's fixable. (Bang on it, tell me what doesn't work for you...) Note: you no longer need to say "-o loop". It does that for you when necessary. Still need to add "user mount" support, which involves making mount suid. Not too hard to do under the new infrastructure, just haven't done it yet... The previous code had the following notes, that belong in the version control comments: - * 3/21/1999 Charles P. Wright <cpwright@cpwright.com> - * searches through fstab when -a is passed - * will try mounting stuff with all fses when passed -t auto - * - * 1999-04-17 Dave Cinege...Rewrote -t auto. Fixed ro mtab. - * - * 1999-10-07 Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>. - * Rewrite of a lot of code. Removed mtab usage (I plan on - * putting it back as a compile-time option some time), - * major adjustments to option parsing, and some serious - * dieting all around. - * - * 1999-11-06 mtab support is back - andersee - * - * 2000-01-12 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, Borrowed utils-linux's - * mount to add loop support. - * - * 2000-04-30 Dave Cinege <dcinege@psychosis.com> - * Rewrote fstab while loop and lower mount section. Can now do - * single mounts from fstab. Can override fstab options for single - * mount. Common mount_one call for single mounts and 'all'. Fixed - * mtab updating and stale entries. Removed 'remount' default. - *

Hi to all, This patch is useful for: 1) remove an unused var from extern char *find_real_root_device_name(const char* name) changing it to extern char *find_real_root_device_name(void). 2) fixes include/libbb.h, coreutils/df.c, util-linux/mount.c and util-linux/umount.c accordingly. 3) fixes a bug, really a false positive, in find_real_root_device_name() that happens if in the /dev directory exists a link named root (/dev/root) that should be skipped but is not. This affects applets like df that display wrong results

2004-01-13Fix a bug where mount could check the wrong device. st_rdev is the correctEric Andersen
device ID iff the named file is a character or block special device. Otherwise it is meaningless junk, in which case st_dev should be used. This was done incorrectly, which could cause mount to display bogus mount info. -Erik

1) fixed a bug that could crash df, mount, and umount applets if the root device name was longer then the word "root" (/dev/loop1 vs /dev/root) - 2) severl functions needed static declaration in the umount applet 3) update declaration for function in last_char_is() in libbb
