Package: mount
Version: 2.13.1-5
Severity: minor
The man page is unclear:
First give an example with just -o loop, before this:
mount /tmp/fdimage /mnt -t msdos -o loop=/dev/loop3,blocksize=1024
unless -o loop is not preferred.
Maybe this:
If no explicit loop device is mentioned (but just an option `-o loop'
is given), then mount will try to find some unused loop device and use
that. If you are not so unwise as to make /etc/mtab a symbolic link to
/proc/mounts...
Means:
Using an explicit loop device is preferred to just -o loop... Never
make a /etc/mtab a symbolic link to /proc/mounts...
Please reword as to whatever it is you mean. "Not so unwise" is
abstruse to anybody who is not a native speaker and some native
speakers too.
P.S.,
# mount
/vietnam.raw on /mnt/extra type iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop0)
but on trying to remove files, get: "rm: ... Read-only file system"
On the man page we see
(except that it is read-only, of course).
So say ro when reporting iso9660, anything but "rw". ls(1) shows the
files r-xr-xr-x so mount should be as smart too.
