When bind mounting a directory the source directory is not recorded somewhere, instead the device at where the source directory resides is recorded as origin.because of that the source directory name can't be used as "key" to revert the bind mount later. See below jonas@Atlas /tmp]sudo mount --bind /tmp/foo /tmp/bar jonas@Atlas /tmp]mount [...] /dev/root on /tmp/bar type reiserfs (rw,relatime) If I want to revert this I cannot use 'umount /tmp/foo', which I would like to be able to do. -- /Jonas -- 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
