Ooh...I recently had this problem too. Was a devil to figure out what
was causing it...since I'm constantly upgrading utilties and programs.
I tried recompiling mount (from Util-linux), Sysvinit, e2fsck...going back
to older versions.
The problem showed up for me shortly after upgrading to Sysvinit 2.76.
I found a message from Miquels van smoorenburg (sp? he's the author/maintainer
of Sysvinit) stating that it's a
bug in glibc-2.0.7 that has been fixed in some new redhat patch collection.
Since glibc takes forever to compile, i didnt fix it that way.
The bug shows up when your sysvinit (/sbin/init) is NOT compiled -static.
(I thought I might save a little memory by compiling it dynamically)
Recompile the Sysvinit utils w/ the -static flag. There's a make variable
that's set undefined in the Makefile. Change it to STATIC=-static.
recompile....reboot a couple of times, and it should go away.
