Subject: [PATCH] Revert "__d_unalias() should refuse to move mountpoints"
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2012 19:45:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50609C43.1070702@canonical.com> (raw)
This reverts commit ee3efa91e240f513898050ef305a49a653c8ed90.
Signed-off-by: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@canonical.com>
My thread about the regression seemed to have been ignored, so I can only
conclude nobody objects against a full revert of this patch.
My testcase is simply booting through netboot with / and ~/nfs as separate
nfs filesystems, then doing 'ls ~/nfs' followed by 'ls ~' in a gnome-terminal
window, then I get:
ls: cannot access nfs: Device or resource busy
Similar things seem to happen with ls /, /dev /proc and /sys will no longer work.
Reverting this patch seems to make things work again.
