On the 8.0 era, I had to switch from /etc/mtab symlinked to /proc/mounts to a real /etc/mtab or one cu test fail to umount

Now depending of /etc/mtab nature, I see 2 df tests behaving differently on my linux chroot used to build

When not using /etc/mtab as symlink
df '.' does not report the intended 'no file systems processed' for total-unprocessed test and that test fail
but df with no parameter report 'no file systems processed' and an error, so df/no-mtab-status is skipped

When using /etc/mtab as symlink to /proc/mounts
df '.' report the intended 'no file systems processed' for total-unprocessed script and test pass
but df with no parameter can't read mount point existing out of chroot and df/no-mtab-status is skipped again

The log that FAIL with real /etc/mtab is as follow

With real /etc/mtab, (on my chroot, there is many mount --bind before to enter the chroot)

...

So df/no-mtab-status is skipped in both case because df returned an error while reading /lib/init/rw that is out of chroot.

Maybe both tests could check if /etc/mtab is a symlink and adjust df parameter to not fail?

I made this change on the tests to see if that work
	cd $(DIR_APP) && sed -i "s/ '\.' / /" tests/df/total-unprocessed
	cd $(DIR_APP) && sed -i "s/df ||/df '.' ||/" tests/df/no-mtab-status

With /etc/mtab as a real file, both tests passed

Thank you for the report.

To make it clear, your change suggests this:

Additionally to a missing mtab, there is another reason which
can make df fail: an inaccessible mount point, e.g. when there's
a file system mounted on /root/backup which is not accessible
by a normal user.

The above tests provoke certain error conditions:
no-mtab-status tests df's behaviour when the mtab cannot be read;
total-unprocessed tests that df exits non-Zero and writes an error
message when --total is used but no file system has been processed.

While your change doesn't make the tests skip under certain
conditions, it well may trigger a different than the intended
failure. E.g. in no-mtab-status, there's a test which is supposed
to fail because we simulated the mtab failure:

  # These tests are supposed to fail:
  LD_PRELOAD=./k.so df && fail=1

That command - a simple df without arguments - could also fail due
to another reason (see above), so the failure may shadow the expected
failure from (simulated) missing mtab.

That said, I'd rather skip a test that cannot otherwise guarantee
why it fails/succeeds.

Have a nice day,
Berny

Yes that should fix df/total-unprocessed.sh and df/total-unprocessed.sh in =
both /etc/mtab cases.

Yes here df command fail in real /etc/mtab case, so even if this test will =
not trigger for the intented reason, test will not fail.

Similary total-verify.sh may be fixed to pass in /etc/mtab real file case w=
ith this patch (hope nothing will be wrapped)

I fixed how /etc/mtab is filled inside my chroot using
=09# Use mtab as regular file. This allow 'df' not to fail during coreutils=
 test with mount points out
=09# of the chroot that didn't exist inside (like debian /lib/init/rw)
=09rm -f /etc/mtab=09=09# In case you experiment with symlink to /proc/moun=
ts
=09# rootfs need to be on top of file or df -T -t <yourfstype> / will fail =
with df: no file systems processed
=09grep ' / ' /proc/mounts >/etc/mtab
=09# Remove the duplicate due to the mount --bind
=09grep -E '/sys sysfs|/proc proc|/dev/pts|/dev/shm' /proc/mounts | sort -u=
 >>/etc/mtab

So without changing coreutils test suite (except separate issue with test-g=
etlogin.c isatty), tests look better

Using a correct /etc/mtab, that changed unobviously those results (as they =
bot use df)
-skip-seek-past-dev: skipped test: failed to determine size of -
-SKIP: dd/skip-seek-past-dev
+PASS: dd/skip-seek-past-dev

-slink: skipped test: '.' is on an XFS file system
-SKIP: du/slink
+PASS: du/slink

I was always suspicious about '.' is on an XFS file system as / is ext3 on =
this machine.

cp/fiemap-perf is the test that fail when on /etc/mtab, rootfs is after the=
 /dev with / partition.
[chroot-i486] root:/$ grep ' / ' /proc/mounts | sort >/etc/mtab
[chroot-i486] root:/$ cat /etc/mtab
/dev/disk/by-uuid/7a235d64-5d04-41ac-a959-70465eb74fc8 / ext3 rw,relatime,e=
rrors=3Dremount-ro,data=3Dordered 0 0
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
[chroot-i486] root:/$ df -T -t ext2 -t ext3 . && echo should skip with ext3
df: no file systems processed
[chroot-i486] root:/$ df -T  && echo done
Filesystem     Type   1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3      ext3    19228308 14717448   3534108  81% /
rootfs         rootfs  19228308 14717448   3534108  81% /
done

Should not some df tests be added that warn on malformed /etc/mtab?

As a notice, util-linux-2.22 libmount code may let some stray loops after c=
oreutils tests have run with regular /etc/mtab and a running kernel before =
2.6.37, git version of util-linux is fixed.
