I just cloned v2.13-pre7-221-ga256ea0 and tried to build it, and discovered an unpleasant change in the behaviour of mount(8). With the old util-linux (2.13pre7 and before back to the dawn of time) you could name symlinks in /dev as devices in /etc/fstab, and mounting and unmounting would work fine: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-06-14 22:53 /dev/cdrom -> hdf /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,nosuid,nodev,noauto 0 0 $ mount /mnt/cdrom $ grep cdrom /etc/mtab /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 $ umount /mnt/cdrom (succeeds) Now, we see this: $ mount /mnt/cdrom $ grep cdrom /etc/mtab /dev/hdf /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 $ umount /mnt/cdrom umount: /mnt/cdrom mount disagrees with the fstab (of course umounting still works when done as root) Those new /etc/mtab contents are hardly ideal: they're the same as /proc/mounts now, but it's definitely a bit of a loss of information, and it seems to be confusing umount as well so I expect it's an unintentional change. It's late and I'm hay-fevery so I haven't tracked down the actual bug yet. I'll do it tomorrow if nobody else does (but honestly I expect someone else will get to this first, it's probably really easy to fix). -- `... in the sense that dragons logically follow evolution so they would be able to wield metal.' --- Kenneth Eng's colourless green ideas sleep furiously - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
