From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxx> The path resolving function breaks when handling undefined sources ("none") used by pseudo-filesystems. The assertion is causing the samples/mount program to abort: dave@offbook:~/projects/util-linux-good/libmount/samples$ ./mount /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) lt-mount: cache.c:464: mnt_resolve_path: Assertion `path' failed. Aborted /etc/mtab: /dev/sda3 / ext4 rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw 0 0 none /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw 0 0 ... Instead of this assert on NULL we can simply return NULL and let mnt_pretty_path do the work.
