Subject: mount error message
Date: Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:19:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <540CA199.8070307@gmail.com> (raw)

I have a user that complains that mount is giving an incorrect error 
message under some circumstances.  For instance if mtab is symlinked to 
/proc/self/mounts the command and /run is not in fstab:

$ mount /run

returns an error message:

   mount: /run: No such file or directory

However if mtab is a regular file, the error message is:

   mount: can't find /run in /etc/fstab

It would be appropriate if both situations could return the 2nd message.
