Bug#300249: Ugly df output for non-root users after installing udev

2005-03-18 Thread Mike Brodbelt
Package: udev
Version: 0.054-3
Severity: minor


During system startup, the udev package remounts the real /dev directory
under /dev/.static/dev/, using the following commands:-

  mkdir -p /dev/.static/dev
  chmod 700 /dev/.static/
  mount -n --move /tmp /dev/.static/dev

This results in a permission denied error message whenever a non root
user executes the df command on the system, as only root has permissions
on the /dev/.static directory:-

$ df
Filesystem   1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1   507232389960117272  77% /
tmpfs   257284 0257284   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda5  5115304   3045848   2069456  60% /usr
/dev/hda6  5115304   1852904   3262400  37% /var
/dev/hda7  2555488   732   2554756   1% /tmp
/dev/hda8 11882512   3072856   8809656  26% /usr/local
/dev/hda9 11357848   3866512   7491336  35% /home
df: `/dev/.static/dev': Permission denied
none 10240  2576  7664  26% /de

While this doesn't really affect the functionality of udev, it's kind of
ugly, and I can't help thinking there should be a better way.

Mike.

You want to talk with the coreutils maintainer.
This bind mount MUST be in a non world-readable directory.
