option - it was going to return a special flag back to caller and
expecting caller to call it again with special parameter! Also
caller was charged with calling mount() syscall...
mount: mtab support was non-functional. Enabling it revealed serious bug
which is not fixed yet.
except that we still have to work when there is no mtab.
Oh, and while we're at it, take advantage of the fact that modern processors
avoid branches via conditional assignment where possible. ("x = a ? b : c;"
turns into "x = c; if (a) x = b;" because that way there's no branch to
potentially mispredict and thus never a bubble in the pipeline. The if(a)
turns into an assembly test followed by a conditional assignment (rather
than a conditional jump).) So since the compiler is going to do that _anyway_,
we might as well take advantage of it to produce a slightly smaller binary.
So there.

a failed mount. And while I'm at it, legacy mdev removal was only being done
in the _failure_ case? That can't be right. Plus minor header cleanups
and an option parsing tweak.
things like xasprintf() into xfuncs.c, remove xprint_file_by_name() (it only
had one user), clean up lots of #includes... General cleanup pass. What I've
been doing for the last couple days.
And it conflicts! I've removed httpd.c from this checkin due to somebody else
touching that file. It builds for me. I have to catch a bus. (Now you know
why I'm looking forward to Mercurial.)
1) the c argument shouldn't have had a : after that, dunno how that got there.
2) the xgetlarg for level was using size
3) because xgetlarg's error message _SUCKS_ (it does a show_usage() rather than giving any specific info about the range that was violated) I dropped the range down to 2 bytes. (Which works fine, I dunno why we were nit-picking about that...)
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.
fallout due to the #include <sys/mount.h>. Removed that #include from various
applets and fixed up those that were unhappy when that #include was made
because they'd block copied stuff out of it. (Sigh.)

A bug introduced in svn 11946 broke rdate. It no longer sets the

think it succeeded when it didn't, use absolute path when associating a
loop device (and the previous FEATURE_CLEAN_UP logic related to that was
freeing the wrong thing), move reading of /proc/filesystems to where we can
re-read it (when it's empty) for every entry on a "mount -a" so that when
/proc is mounted as the first entry, the later filesystems can autodetect
filesystem type.
the new infrastructure is reentrant so in theory it's capable of handling
mount -a sanely. It can also re-use existing flags with remount, handle
-t auto, mount -a -t, and several smaller bugfixes.
if we don't zero it after closing it we re-close a filehandle that isn't
open, and since this is a file _pointer_ it segfaults on a double free.
Yeah, subtle bug. I need to break this out into separate functions if I can
figure out how to avoid making the code larger while doing so. Part of
the general -a and -o remount work I need to do, but that's after 1.1.0...
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.)

- new bb_getopt_ulflags features: check max and min args, convert first argv to options special for ar and tar applets
- use bb_default_error_retval for env applet
- more long opt compatibility, can set flag for long opt struct now
- more logic: check opt-depend requires and global requires, special for 'id' and 'start-stop-daemon' applets.

This entire applet is still an enormous pile of garbage, which I can't clean
up because I really have no idea what it's for. (Both "man getopt" and trying
it out on the command line a bit fail to enlighten me. Reading the code, the
fact half of it seems to be special cases for bash vs tcsh does not fill me
with confidence.)

mount() was incorrect (and I coded it wrong anyway; I hate having to touch
codepaths I can't personally test).
can never be made because useMtab is initialized to 0, and all the other
assignments of that variable assign 0 to it. Any compiler that can perform
simple constant propogation on local variables will optimize away if statements
testing against that variable, thus the call to erase_mtab() will never be
made.
When compiling for arm using gcc 3.3.3 with FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT disabled,
the linker complains that it can't find erase_mtab(). The arm optimizer isn't
exactly the brightest member of the family, and apparently needs to be hit over
the head with a hammer to get its' attention...
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...

Hi!
I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.
That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.
I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.
'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.
One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.

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
Hi,
With the following /etc/fstab (any two or more lines of nfs), mount -a
-t nfs causes a segmentation faults.
server:/exports/aaa /mnt/aaa nfs defaults 0 0
server:/exprots/bbb /mnt/bbb nfs defaults 0 0
In util-linux/nfsmount.c, it overwrites malloc'ed pointer *mount_opts
with a static pointer. With this patch it does proper memory realloc
and data copy instead.
Yes, I know busybox is in feature freeze. If this two-liner is too much
that's fine, but it's handy.
This patch allows busybox mount to support "-o move" just like it
supports "-o bind", which is the equivalent of util-linux "mount --move".
Usage is:
mount -o move /mnt/point/1 /mnt/point/2
where /mnt/point/1 is an already mounted filesystem; it will be moved to
/mnt/point/2.
This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!
- Larry
