I'm not envisioning the problem that you're addressing very well. What I was thinking is that, in the best of all worlds, if mount doesn't permit the requested operation, it should correctly report the test that failed. For instance, sometimes only root may perform the operation, and so mount should say "mount: only root can ..." But if members of group 'foo' are permitted, then it should say "mount: only members of 'foo' and root can ..." etc. Dale -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
