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
