[gentoo-user] you have cruft in /proc remove it

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

does anybody know where the message
you have cruft in /proc remove it
comes from and what to do about it.

(It seems to be new with baselayout-2.0.0/openrc
but it's not mentioned in the upgrade guide)

Many thanks for a hint,

First: Don't top post!

Second: I don't think this is normal filesystem cruft like which is 
discussed in the forum. The proc (proc <- Process information 
pseudo-filesystem) filesystem contains information about the state of 
your system and the running processes and there are no real files in it. 
The same goes for /dev (udev) /sys (sysfs).

Is the message referring to the proc filesystem or the /proc mount point
before it is mounted? Do you see anything if you do

mount --bind / /mnt/tmp
ls -l /mnt/tmp/proc

Big whoop! The two posts are tiny -- it's easy to see
at a glance which is the original and which the reply.

What's with people making the biggest deal out of this?  The ubuntu
mailing lists just had a huge discussion about it.  
 
I have seen the signature (something like this)

A: Because it puts the answers before the questions.  
Q: Why is top-posting bad?

But I think it goes more like this: 

Q: Why is top-posting bad?
A: You said, "Why is top-posting bad?"  
   Top posting is bad because ...

And since your post was so tiny, you really should have
trimmed what you quoted. This could easily mean, that
all the original text is removed.

The way you did it, was simply no good.
