df: `/dev/.static/dev': Permission denied
Hi
Whenever I run df, I get `/dev/.static/dev': Permission denied:
$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 4032092 2411436 1415832 64% / /dev/root 4032092 2411436 1415832 64% / df: `/dev/.static/dev': Permission denied tmpfs 10240 180 10060 2% /dev tmpfs 386576 0 386576 0% /dev/shm [...]
what might be the problem? the cure?
I'm using grml 0.7 hd installation.
thanks

PS.
I remember seeing boot up message related with /dev/.static/dev, but I can't seem to find them:
cd /var/log grep 'dev/.static' dmesg messages sysl zgrep 'dev/.static' dmesg.1.gz messages.1.gz syslog.1.gz
both grep find nothing.

Does being root have anything to do with it?
As user me, I get the same thing as you do.
Best, M

I'm using grml 0.7 hd installation.
I'm aware of this problem but not yet sure who is responsible for it. Looks like a udev problem.
If you are running the 'df' as user root you won't notice the problem. To fix the issue for normal users as well just manually invoke 'umount /dev/.static/dev'.
The issue is on my todolist and I'll provide a fix soon.

Just noticed that I forgot to inform you about the solved issue:

Make sure you have a recent version of the initscripts, sysvinit and grml-etc packages. Then make sure /etc/mtab is *not* a symlink to /proc/mounts anymore:
# rm /etc/mtab ; cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
Now the "/dev/.static/dev: Permission denied" shouldn't be present anymore (at least on next reboot).
HTH && regards, -mika-
