Mounts with fs type 'none'
I've a request to have checksecurity skip searching filesystems with type 'none' (not device 'none'). A brief check leads me to believe that these are result of mount --bind, which means that the mount in question is either searched or skipped in its real location, and need not be searched in its bind location. Is this correct? Are there other types of mounts that lead to type=none in the output of 'mount'? Thanks, Steve -- Steve Greenland [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(And why does mount(8) document '--bind' but not '-t none' or '-o bind'?) i don't know that either.. i prefer the latter since its standard usage of mount, it also makes it more clear that something like this in /etc/fstab will (and does) work as expected: /tmp/var/tmpnonebind0 0 -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/ pgpUDvD8DPNqK.pgp Description: PGP signature
