- The /debug file system should be automagically mounted when you reboot your
- system, on one condition - you need to have a /debug directory which will
- allow mounting the file system. If /debug directory is not present, the
- /debug file system will not be mounted.
-
- Here are the lines from the /etc/init.d/MOUNTFSYS script which is responsible
- for doing the mounting:
-
- # If the /debug directory is present, mount the debug file system
- if [ -d /debug ]
- then
- /etc/mount -t dbg /debug /debug
- fi
