Description arg 2001-08-19 11:50:01 UTC 
	/etc/rc.diskless2 already mounts /usr in order to use tools in
	/usr/bin etc.  However, some new lines have been added _above_
	the 'mount -a' which use things like /usr/sbin/mtree and /usr/bin/touch.

How-To-Repeat: 	Boot a standard diskless system where the root and /usr filesystems
	are separate mounts.
Comment 1 Jean-Francois Dockes 2001-10-10 16:14:18 UTC 
In addition to the proposed fix, it would be a nice thing to add an 
'mkdir /var/db' before the 'mount -a' so that mount does not complain 
about being unable to access /var/db/mounttab

There have been a few commits to diskless2. Is this still a problem?

The problem that I originally reported is fixed - I've just set up a test
system from clean sources and it works OK.

However, the (less serious) problem about /var/db added to the PR by
jean-francois.dockes@wanadoo.fr  is still present.

: mounttab seems to be gone for good. The last complaint message I see while
: booting diskless is about /var/spool/clientmqueue. There should be an 
: '/usr/sbin/mtree -deU -f /etc/mtree/BSD.sendmail.dist -p /var' added to
: rc.diskless2 in addition to BSD.var.dist
:
: While you are at it, could someone please close pr conf/31200 which was
: fixed by revision 1.2.2.2 of /usr/share/examples/diskless/clone_root  and
: revision 1.5.2.7 of /etc/rc.diskless1. (added /conf/base/etc to be copied
: before /conf/default/etc).

Comment 6 Matteo Riondato 2005-03-29 20:12:14 UTC 
This PR can be closed, as FreeBSD no longer use rc.diskless2.
Best Regards
