RE: [microblaze-uclinux] /etc/mta?

[Döring Thomas <tdoering@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

thanks John. Now, at least the "smbmount" doesn't crash with that message "Can't load /etc/mta" anymore. BUT, it crashes without that.

I created an empty file mtab in a read/writable dir and created a symlink to /etc/mtab. Can you give me any hint on the exact requirements of smbmount (which config-settings, which files a.s.o.)?

Thanks,
Thomas.

I expect it's a truncation of /etc/mtab, which is the file used to track 
mounted filesystems.

Some userlevel apps that care about mounted filesystems will play with 
it, I think there are C library calls for manipulating it.

Since /etc is read-only in a typical romfs/cramfs system, you'd need to 
make it instead a symlink to /etc/config/mtab.  Examples of this sort of 
thing can be found in petalinux-dist/vendors/PetaLogix/common/common.mak.

Regards,

John
