Subject: Re: util-linux-2.23 mount segmentation fault error

Hi, it didn't solved, still get segfaults..

partially gets segfaults

# this works
.libs/mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

# this segfaults
.libs/umount /mnt

after util-linux-2.23( mount, umount binary) installation,
it segfaults when mount rootfs rw.

so removed mount umount and symlink again.
# rm /mnt/bin/{mount, umount}
# ln -s /mnt/bin/busybox /mnt/bin/mount
# ln -s /mnt/bin/busybox /mnt/bin/umount
