Hi, when calling "mount -t smbfs //foo/bar /mnt/foo", mount.smbfs will be called with /foo/bar if /foo/bar exists locally, and will display its usage. I think canonicalize should not be called when type == smbfs but also for some others (cifs at least), and that would need to be done at various places: - In mount_one(), fsprobe_get_devname_for_mounting should not be called on remote types - In update_mtab_entry(), canonicalize should not be called on remote types - In mounted(), fsprobe_get_devname() is called and then canonicalize() is also while fsprobe_get_devname() already calls canonicalize() but the issue there is that the type is unknown... - 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
