/proc/bus/usb ??

[Brian Millett]

I'm guessing that I should know this, sorry, but with the last initscripts
update, I now get a message like
"can't find /proc/bus/usb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"

I have googled to see what should be in /etc/fstab and have found four
variations.

usbdev /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0
none            /proc/bus/usb   usbdevfs defaults       0 0
/proc/bus/usb           /proc/bus/usb           usbdevfs defaults   0 0

What should I have?  I do have a /proc/bus/usb that is populated.

Thanks.

The various mount -f statements need redirected to /dev/null.

Another initscripts bug or something which we can fix with a bit of
jiggery hackery? I've submitted a bug which includes this to bugzilla.

The name "usbdevfs" is dead, use "usbfs" instead.  Newer kernels don't
even work with that term.
