Package: mount Version: 2.20.1-5.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have several entries for cifs shares in /etc/fstab, each marked as 'user' mountable. I expect that 'mount -at cifs' scans through fstab and attempts to mount each of these, either deciding to perform the mount by itself or by delegating to mount.cifs. What happens is that the mount command is rejected with the error message sts@nbofm020:~$ mount -at cifs mount: only root can do that though each single filesystem is mounted correctly sts@nbofm020:~$ mount /ipmfas/ofm-projekte sts@nbofm020:~$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on [...] //ipmfas/ofm-projekte 2732431772 2628478316 103953456 97% /ipmfas/ofm-projekte sts@nbofm020:~$ In fact, 'mount -at cifs' as user does not even reference /etc/fstab as can be seen by running strace, so it seems to link the -a option to a mandatory uid/euid of 0 at an early stage. By the way, umount also does not correctly honor 'user', since from the same shell a subsequent sts@nbofm020:~$ umount /ipmfas/ofm-projekte umount: only root can unmount //ipmfas/ofm-projekte from /ipmfas/ofm-projekte fails. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mount depends on: ii libblkid1 2.20.1-5.1 ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libmount1 2.20.1-5.1 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 ii libsepol1 2.1.4-3 mount recommends no packages.
