>Description:
The mount_critical_filsystems() routine in /etc/rc.subr calls
islocalfs() on "/usr", "/var", and the filesystems listed in
$critical_filesystems. On a system where either /usr or /var is not a separate
partition, islocalfs() ends up complaining
WARNING: islocalfs() in rc.subr doesn't recognise fstype /usr
during boot. This is useless and potentially disconcerting spewage.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install a machine and make usr and var symlinks to an actual
mounted partition like /u1. Reboot.
>Fix:
Put /usr and /var in the default definition of $critical_filesystems
rather than coding them in the routine so that installers can remove them
for systems where neither is actually a filesystem.
