I have fixed what was broken. At least one part of it.
no, that's not fixing. it's workarounding problem from wrong direction.
initrd needs fixing, not filesystem.spec having workarounds.
If a package can't be upgraded (even in wrong environment), it can be
considered a problem with this package. And IMO this is the case.
anyway not being able to umount /initrd (due unmounted /initrd/dev) is
fixed in geninitrd 8142.
$ rpm -q geninitrd
geninitrd-8286-1
installing geninitrd package doesn't fix your problem.
Indeed, it doesn't fix filesystem.spec.
you need to regenerate initrd using fixed geninitrd.
No kidding...?
if you've all done that, then please show your initrd contents (while /initrd
still mounted to be sure to compare initrd used for boot):

Uh, this reply certainly took me a while. Elan Ruusamäe [EMAIL PROTECTED] [12-02-2007 10:19]: On Monday 12 February 2007, radek wrote: why?

I have fixed what was broken. At least one part of it. it should not be mounted for normal system run. But it *is* mounted on three of four of my PLD systems. Which are working perfectly fine, apart from not being able to upgrade filesystem: $ LANG=C poldek -iv filesystem [...] I filesystem-2.0-6 Need to get 10.0KB of archives.

Is this a ping-pong club or what? anyway not being able to umount /initrd (due unmounted /initrd/dev) is fixed in geninitrd 8142. $ rpm -q geninitrd geninitrd-8286-1 doesn't it break fresh installs as i don't think /initrd is mkdir at boot No. %ghost %dir creates it. no, it does not (go and test it) Hmm, true. I must have messed something up while testing this.
