Hello,
Looking at (2.4.9's) sys_pivot_root() implementation I can see that it
moves all the processes' root/pwd references from the old root to the new
one.
However, somehow /sbin/init managed to survive the move and is keeping the
filesystem busy:
# lsof /sysroot
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
init 1 0 txt REG 22,65 28220 11217 /sysroot/sbin/init
init 1 0 mem REG 22,65 468849 10376
/sysroot/lib/ld-2.2.2.so
init 1 0 mem REG 22,65 5636080 10370
/sysroot/lib/i686/libc-2.2.2.so
# cat /proc/1/maps
08048000-0804f000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 11217 /sysroot/sbin/init
0804f000-08050000 rw-p 00006000 16:41 11217 /sysroot/sbin/init
08050000-08054000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0
15556000-1556c000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 10376 /sysroot/lib/ld-2.2.2.so
1556c000-1556d000 rw-p 00015000 16:41 10376 /sysroot/lib/ld-2.2.2.so
1556d000-1556e000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
15573000-15699000 r-xp 00000000 16:41 10370 /sysroot/lib/i686/libc-2.2.2.so
15699000-1569f000 rw-p 00125000 16:41 10370 /sysroot/lib/i686/libc-2.2.2.so
1569f000-156a3000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
3fffe000-40000000 rwxp fffff000 00:00 0
Any clues why and how to force it to exec a binary on the new root (or
get rid of it in any other way)?
Regards,
Tigran
