Arch Linux

Hello,

As reported on the forum, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=327619, /etc/rc.sysinit does not manage properly usbfs fstab entries :

When a line such "none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1004,devmode=666 0 0" is in /etc/fstab
there are no errors on boot. But when the line is commented out "#none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1004,devmode=666 0 0" we have the following error message at boot time :

Mounting Local Filesystems
mount : cannot find /proc/bus/usb in /etc/mtab or /etc/fstab.

This is due to those lines in /etc/rc.sysinit :

if grep -qw /proc/bus/usb /etc/fstab; then
mount /proc/bus/usb
else
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
fi

This should be replaced by something like :
grep -v ^# /etc/fstab |grep -qw /proc/bus/usb ;then
so that comments are ignored in /etc/fstab
