Subject: mount --no-canonical seems broken.
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:30:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5175BA15.9060803@tlinx.org> (raw)
I would use mount --no-canonical to rewrite mtab to match fstab so
my utils could find volumes in /etc/fstab -- but recently in
util-linux-2.21.2
this has no longer worked.
I made sure to have /etc/mtab NOT be a symlink to /proc/self/mounts so
mount could write to it. It DOES write to it, but it doesn't display it.
Example:
After doing a remount as recommended by the manpage...
mount -f --no-canonical -a -o remount
mount and df now produce different output.
Ishtar:home/../archive# echo $PWD
/home/.snapdir/@GMT-2013.04.16-05.07.03/archive
Ishtar:home/../archive# df .

/home/.snapdir/@GMT-2013.04.16-05.07.03
Ishtar:home/../archive# mount |grep /home/snapdir

/dev/mapper/HnS-Home--2013.04.16--05.07.03 on
/home/.snapdir/@GMT-2013.04.16-05.07.03 type xfs (ro,nouuid,norecovery)
I've tried up to version util-linux-2.23-rc2....
Ideas?
