>Status: Closed Priority: 3 Submitted By: Ville Skyttä (scop-guest) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: mount completion from fstab only does not make sense Distribution: None Originally reported in: Fedora / Red Hat Bugzilla Milestone: None Status: Fix Committed Original bug number: 750795 Initial Comment: Forwarding report from Red Hat Bugzilla here because I don't personally have a real opinion on this: ---- # mount /de[tab] # mount /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_ [...] This type of completion just does not make sense at all. There is plenty of other devices in /dev/ I want to use and I want my completion to work as expected. This is highly annoying! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Igor Murzov (garik-guest) Date: 2012-03-25 18:29 Message: Closed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Igor Murzov (garik-guest) Date: 2011-12-15 20:41 Message: New linux-only mount completion is now available in the master branch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Igor Murzov (garik-guest) Date: 2011-11-05 06:53 Message: Ok, I do have an opinion actually and I completely agree with the statement in the summary. I don't personally use completions on fstab entries and I suppose, that most people use fstab mostly for mounting something at boot time. For me, the most useful usecases are: mount --bind ~/dir /srv/ftp/pub mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop image.iso /mnt/iso and both of this cases are not handled by bash-completion. I would like mount's completion to be redone with different usecases in mind, not only mounting entries from fstab. Also, I fixed '-o loop' and '--bind' handling for myself, but haven't pushed this work upstream, because I don't know how mount works on systems other than Linux. But I think we can provide different completion variants for different systems, so at least some systems will get functional completion. Also, this bug is actually a duplicate of #313214. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=313437&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
