/mnt/var/ contains files after umounting the installed / partition
Last modified: 2006-03-04 11:32:23 UTC
At the end of installation stage 1 (before the first very reboot), I found that /mnt/var contains some files and directories: # cd /mnt/var && find -ls 211255 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 22 17:12 . 211962 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib 211963 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm 211964 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm/Providename 211965 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm/Name 211966 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm/Basenames 211967 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Jan 22 17:12 ./lib/rpm/Packages 211968 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./adm 211969 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./adm/YaST 211970 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./adm/YaST/SelDB 211971 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 22 17:12 ./adm/YaST/ProdDB I did not discover any problems in the installed system because of this, but having these files in the ramdisk (after umounting the / partiton of the installed system) looks strange.

This did not happen again when updating to beta6, so I guess this is fixed.
