Package: mount Version: 2.17.2-3.1 Severity: normal File: /bin/umount -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512
Hello, I am currently experiencing a problem whereby umount appears to delete a mountpoint. This makes it difficult to remount a device (sure, I can remake the directory, but this seems a rather abrupt change in behaviour). For example, here is my test case: [da...@fowler:~]$ ls -l /mnt total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 darac users 48 Mar 17 2005 misc1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Nov 23 2004 misc2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 13 2005 net -> /var/autofs/net/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 13 2005 usb -> /var/autofs/usb/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 48 May 20 2002 windows [da...@fowler:~]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/backup [da...@fowler:~]$ ls -l /mnt total 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 7 2009 backup drwxr-xr-x 2 darac users 48 Mar 17 2005 misc1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Nov 23 2004 misc2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 13 2005 net -> /var/autofs/net/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 13 2005 usb -> /var/autofs/usb/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 48 May 20 2002 windows [da...@fowler:~]$ grep backup /etc/fstab LABEL=fowler-backup /mnt/backup ext4 defaults,user,noauto 0 0 [da...@fowler:~]$ mount /mnt/backup [da...@fowler:~]$ ls -l /mnt total 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 7 2009 backup drwxr-xr-x 2 darac users 48 Mar 17 2005 misc1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Nov 23 2004 misc2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 13 2005 net -> /var/autofs/net/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 13 2005 usb -> /var/autofs/usb/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 48 May 20 2002 windows [da...@fowler:~]$ ls -l /mnt/backup total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Sep 10 03:11 host-fowler drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Apr 3 2009 lost+found [da...@fowler:~]$ umount /mnt/backup [da...@fowler:~]$ ls -l /mnt total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 darac users 48 Mar 17 2005 misc1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Nov 23 2004 misc2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 13 2005 net -> /var/autofs/net/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 13 2005 usb -> /var/autofs/usb/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root users 48 May 20 2002 windows [da...@fowler:~]$ Note how /mnt/backup disappears after the umount. Historically, it has been possible to umount a device and then immediately re-mount it in the same place. Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
