As i started to hack on [cinit](http://unix.schottelius.org) again,
@ -14,27 +14,24 @@ After booting the VM, I recognized, that the service
***mount/proc*** (which mounts /proc...) fails. Mount claims that
/proc it is already mounted!
This is caused by the udev script, which contains:
237 [ -d /proc/1 ] || mount -n /proc
But /proc needs /writable, to write into mtab.
/ is not being fscked, because udev is not started
Besides the problematic of using a sys-v-init script with an
intelligent init system, it's interesting to see, **why**
this happens:
## Ccollect - the simple backup tool
The ***service*** mount/root **needs** the device files in /dev
to be able to run mount/root/fsck (the filesystem check).
The first software from the old
[unix.schottelius.org](http://unix.schottelius.org) website
(previously [linux.schottelius.org](http://linux.schottelius.org))
has been migrated to this website: From today on, the old ***ccollect***
home
Thus mount/root requires the service ***udev*** to be started before.

The ***service*** mount/proc **needs** the root filesystems writable,
to write into /etc/mtab and thus **needs** mount/root.

This also demonstrates the problematic of the historical grown
init scripts, which do way more than one job and their lack of
real dependencies.

More stuff will be migrated soon!
