I think I explained that it was the default to follow user-specified symbolic link names in following and echoing a path -- notable in shells like bash. if "/usr/src" is a symlink pointing to /home/src, and under /home/src, packages points to ../packages, then when I switch to /usr/src/packages, I see my path listed as /usr/src/packages:
cd /usr/src/packages
/usr/src/packages> pwd /usr/src/packages Only by asking an external util can I find the real name:
/bin/pwd
/home/packages It's a display choice for *user-convenience* that was made over years of feedback. Why not allow the same paradigm in /etc/fstab and allow nocanonicalize as an option with mounts in /etc/fstab? -- 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
