Well, the /etc/mtab part in the cdrom LFS file turns out to overwrite the symlink created by stage2. Fixed in commit 9a271cf7a8886c09854bdd69e636f1ef56280b1d - as I told you. :-)
Hello Michael,
thanks for reporting this.
I'll investigate and get back to you later, if necessary.
Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
Hello,
I just installed the latest nightly build from the ISO image and /etc/mtab is a regular file.
Please see the attached screenshot.

mount, as updated via util-linux, no longer writes /etc/mtab, causing programs to rely on this file's content (such as the check_disk Nagios plugin) to stop working.
/proc/self/mounts contains all the necessary information, so it is fine to replace /etc/mtab by a symlink to it.
Fixes: #12843

Okay. This would work.
this sounds like you would have done that in another way...
No, I just wanted to say something positive and as you know I don’t do this very often, so I am not very good at it :)
This is the way to go.

This however should not be required.
Where does the symlink then come from on new installations?
It will be part of the regular image like all the other symlinks, too.

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
Shipping the symlink should be enough. It would be great to get rid of hacks like these.
