I still don't understand the reasoning here: "not to be unmounted" as in a permission-bound issue ("is not allowed to unmount") or a technical issue? For the latter: simply keep an open file on the filesystem, unmount will fail with -EBUSY. Or it's a matter of "because we can", as in "because I want to be able to disallow mounting on the filesystem level". But then again, I did not have my coffee yet and my brain keeps asking why, why, why? :) Christian. -- BOFH excuse #202: kernel panic: write-only-memory (/dev/wom0) capacity exceeded. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
