few new (unfinished) config options, which I intend to make hidden (but
enabled) when CONFIG_NITPICK is disabled. Getting the .config infrastructure
to do that is non-obvious, it seems...
Both Jason Schoon and Giuseppe Ciotta deserve credit for this, I used elements
of both. It's been upgraded so that you can specify that a given command
should run at create, at delete, or at both using different special characters
(@, $, and * respectively). It uses the system() method of running command
lines which means you can use environment variables on the command line (it
sets $MDEV to the name of the current device being created/deleted, which is
useful if you matched it via regex), and the documentation warns that you need
a /bin/sh to make that work, so you probably want to pick a default shell.
Adds "Enable getopt long" under "General options", default y.
Send patches to fix getopt_ulflags and run_parts.c if you turn this off..
See http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-May/021828.html for a start to run-parts
Not buying it, eh?
I know I said new features before 1.1, but, well... (I was weak!)
The config file and hotplug modes aren't implemented yet. Might take a stab at
those tomorrow. (I _should_ go back to focusing on the bug triage list.)
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.
