6a6798b8e4 Major rewrite of mount, umount, losetup. Untangled lots of code, shrunk
things down a bit, fixed a number of funky corner cases, added support for
several new features (things like mount --move, mount --bind, lazy unounts,
automatic detection of loop mounts, and so on).  Probably broke several
other things, but it's fixable.  (Bang on it, tell me what doesn't work for
you...)

Note: you no longer need to say "-o loop".  It does that for you when
necessary.

Still need to add "user mount" support, which involves making mount suid.  Not
too hard to do under the new infrastructure, just haven't done it yet...

The previous code had the following notes, that belong in the version

Hi to all,
This patch is useful for:
1) remove an unused var from extern char *find_real_root_device_name(const char* name)
    changing it to extern char *find_real_root_device_name(void).
2) fixes include/libbb.h, coreutils/df.c, util-linux/mount.c and  util-linux/umount.c accordingly.
3) fixes a bug, really a false positive,  in find_real_root_device_name() that happens if
    in the /dev directory exists a link named root (/dev/root) that should be skipped but
    is not. This affects applets like df that display wrong results

c7bda1ce65 Remove trailing whitespace. Update copyright to include 2004. 2004-03-15 08:29:22 +00:00

1cda715bbc Fix a bug where mount could check the wrong device. st_rdev is the correct
device ID iff the named file is a character or block special device.  Otherwise
it is meaningless junk, in which case st_dev should be used.  This was done
incorrectly, which could cause mount to display bogus mount info.

c911a4389b Patch from Vladimir:
1) fixed a bug that could crash df, mount, and umount applets if the root
    device name was longer then the word "root" (/dev/loop1 vs /dev/root) -
    2) severl functions needed static declaration in the umount applet
    3) update declaration for function in last_char_is() in libbb

aad1a88c76 Convert utility.c into libbb.a. It is now a whole pile of .c
files.  Clean up the resulting damage and fix up the makefile.
