From 1d0f398d8e3c74ce6a70cbbb8d9b8ae07c6d7ef6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Richard W.M. Jones" Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:41:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] blkid: Use -c /dev/null option to kill the cache. On recent Debian, /etc/blkid.tab is now a symlink to /dev/.blkid.tab. Rather than chasing the cache file around (it may move to /run in future) use the -c /dev/null option to stop blkid from reading the cache. --- daemon/blkid.c | 13 ++++--------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/daemon/blkid.c b/daemon/blkid.c index f631061..7935ac3 100644 --- a/daemon/blkid.c +++ b/daemon/blkid.c @@ -33,16 +33,11 @@ get_blkid_tag (const char *device, const char *tag) char *out, *err; int r; - /* Kill the cache file, forcing blkid to reread values from the - * original filesystems.
