Hello, Another small change on top of Daves earlier mountpoint(1) correction. Now when mount points are not restricted to directories it is reasonable not to follow symlinks. Notice that this is not a regression from Daves change but something the command has always done. --->8---- From: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@xxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 20:16:30 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] mountpoint: symlinks are not mount points Earlier the mountpoint(1) followed symlinks, claiming they were mount points when they only referred one. $ ls -l /tmp/this-is-symlink lrwxrwxrwx 1 kerolasa kerolasa 1 Aug 21 19:54 /tmp/this-is-symlink -> / $ mountpoint /tmp/this-is-symlink /tmp/this-is-symlink is a mountpoint Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@xxxxxx> --- sys-utils/mountpoint.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/sys-utils/mountpoint.c b/sys-utils/mountpoint.c index 3919ab7..11a611f 100644 --- a/sys-utils/mountpoint.c +++ b/sys-utils/mountpoint.c @@ -182,7 +182,7 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) spec = argv[optind++]; - if (stat(spec, &st)) { + if (lstat(spec, &st)) { if (!quiet) err(EXIT_FAILURE, "%s", spec); return EXIT_FAILURE; @@ -192,7 +192,7 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) else { dev_t src; - if ( dir_to_device(spec, &src)) { + if (dir_to_device(spec, &src) || S_ISLNK(st.st_mode)) { if (!quiet) printf(_("%s is not a mountpoint\n"), spec); return EXIT_FAILURE; -- 2.1.0 -- 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
