As I known, in Android 9, system and vendor are mounted in the first stage of init by parsing fstab from device tree. But, there is another fstab parsed in init process, it is device default fstab, which is parsed by ReadDefaultFstab function below. I am facing to a error " failed to find device default fstab " in boot log. Can anyone explain for me this default fstab file? What is it and it's role?
// Loads the fstab file and combines with fstab entries passed in from device tree.
bool ReadDefaultFstab(Fstab* fstab) {
Fstab dt_fstab;
ReadFstabFromDt(&dt_fstab, false);
*fstab = std::move(dt_fstab);
std::string default_fstab_path;
// Use different fstab paths for normal boot and recovery boot, respectively
if (access("/system/bin/recovery", F_OK) == 0) {
default_fstab_path = "/etc/recovery.fstab";
}
else {
// normal boot
default_fstab_path = GetFstabPath();
}
Fstab default_fstab;
if (!default_fstab_path.empty()) {
ReadFstabFromFile(default_fstab_path, &default_fstab);
}
else {
LINFO << __FUNCTION__ << "(): failed to find device default fstab";
}
for (auto&& entry : default_fstab) {
fstab->emplace_back(std::move(entry));
}
return !fstab->empty();
}
