Subject: [bug] Cannot mount from directories containing = (equals)
Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2013 02:50:58 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1372413058.87399.YahooMailNeo@web162204.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hello, hopefully this is the correct mailing list...


I have noticed an odd behavior [subject] when trying to mount some ext2 disk file image

This problem probably occurs because the = character forces the mount command to interpret the path as an UUID rather than a file

Some info:

# mount -V
mount from util-linux 2.22.2 (libmount 2.22.0: debug)



I wonder, is this more of a bug or a feature? Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)


Best regards,
  Marek Mrva
