  Hey all,


  util-linux v2.39-rc1 coming to rawhide, Release Notes:
  https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.39/v2.39-ReleaseNotes

  I usually don't report util-linux Fedora updates, but this one is
  special. This new version provides libmount with support for new
  kernel mount API (syscalls fsconfig, fsmount, open_tree, etc.).

  Some kernel parts may not be fully ported to the new API. Unfortunately,
  the reliable way to detect possible issues is to test all less usual use
  cases and mount options combinations in the real distribution.

  For example, a well-known issue is btrfs when mixed with selinux mount
  options. In this case, libmount falls back to the classic mount(2)
  syscall. We need to gather all such cases.

  If you see any unexpected behavior, please report it to
  https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues, the ideal report is
  with libmount debug output (LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=all mount /foo ...).

Does this handle file systems that have not been converted to the

new mount API?


A while ago I noticed David's autofs conversion patch hasn't been

merged. I started work on simplifying and dividing his patch into

smaller ones but haven't completed it yet.


Is that going to cause problems?
