When mounting spec of a regular file, mount.nfs print error message as, # mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile /mnt/ mount.nfs: mount point /mnt is not a directory # mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile /mnt/testfile mount.nfs: mount point /mnt/testfile is not a directory This patch lets mount.nfs print more useful message, # mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile /mnt/ mount.nfs: mount spec 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile or point /mnt is not a directory # mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/root/testfile /mnt/testfile mount.nfs: mount point /mnt/testfile is not a directory Signed-off-by: Kinglong Mee <kinglongmee@xxxxxxxxx> --- utils/mount/error.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/utils/mount/error.c b/utils/mount/error.c index f8fc13f..e06f598 100644 --- a/utils/mount/error.c +++ b/utils/mount/error.c @@ -215,8 +215,12 @@ void mount_error(const char *spec, const char *mount_point, int error) progname); break; case ENOTDIR: - nfs_error(_("%s: mount point %s is not a directory"), - progname, mount_point); + if (spec) + nfs_error(_("%s: mount spec %s or point %s is not a " + "directory"), progname, spec, mount_point); + else + nfs_error(_("%s: mount point %s is not a directory"), + progname, mount_point); break; case EBUSY: nfs_error(_("%s: %s is busy or already mounted"), -- 1.9.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
