Package: initscripts
Version: 2.85-22.se2
Severity: important
the /etc/mtab check is actually a check for /etc/ being writeable not
/etc/mtab being writeable.
under SE/Linux, writing to /etc is banned for all but really crucial
programs, and mountvirtfs most definitely _isn't_ on that list, and
is very unlikely - for security reasons - _to_ be added to that list!
[translation: mountvirtfs shouldn't really be doing touch /etc/ ]
so this check [touch /etc] fails under selinux.
the result? /etc/mtab doesn't get deleted.
the consequences of _that_ are quite serious, if you have several
partitions (/usr, /var, /home) and if, coincidentally, during a shutdown
(or an emergency or unexpected power failure) the /etc/mtab file
happens to indicate that partitions are still mounted, oh, for example
if /etc/init.d/umountfs says "/usr is still in use, remounting /usr
as read-only", THEN:
/usr doesn't get remounted at boot time!
it's a long chain of events that's taken me about two months to track
down.

Changes:
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-2) unstable; urgency=low
.
* This package is now maintained on Alioth as the pkg-sysvinit project.
* Add myself as uploader.
* Add support for linprocfs on kFreeBSD. Patch from Robert
Millan. (Closes: #300963)
* Rewrote /etc/mtab handling in mountvirtfs to work with SELinux.
Based on patch from Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton.
(Closes: #270919)
* Add SELinux support to sysvinit on linux. Add build-depend on
libselinux1-dev and libsepol1-dev for all linux archs. Patch from
Manoj Srivastava, based on patch from Fedora. (Closes: #242900,
#249515,#315611)
* Drop redundant build-depend on essensial package bash.
* Add version 0.47 of startpar(8) program from SuSe. Part of
experimental parallel booting system. Not included by default
yet, as it tend to hang during boot.
* Add support for starting init.d scripts on the same level in
parallel, to speed up the boot process a bit. Currently, only a
simple system is implemented (and enabled by adding
CONCURRENCY=shell in /etc/default/rcS). This simple system messes
up the script output during boot. Disabled by default. (Closes:
#316290)
* Add 'kdm xdm gdm $syslog' as conditional dependencies of
rmnologin, to move it further back in the boot process.
* Make sure bootlogd return non-error exit code after forking off
the child. (Closes: #326640)
* Add more warning flags to list of compiler flags, to get more
info about problematic code.
* Avoid race-condition while fork()ing. Patch from SuSe.
(Closes: #327612)
* Improve error message when fork() fail in init. Patch from SuSe.
* Avoid hardcoding tty name length in wall, use UT_LINESIZE instead.
Patch from SuSe.
* Force kernel to reschedule after killing processes. Patch from SuSe.
* Make sure killall never tries to kill init (pid 1). Patch from SuSe.
* Acknowledge NMUs. (Closes: #30659, #85221, #204857, #225476,
#247102, #248739 #252059, #267935, #269774, #269894, #272588,
