Package: mount Version: 2.20.1-5.3 Severity: serious Justification: breaks handling of network-based filesystems on shutdown
The use of a symlink for /etc/mtab in wheezy means that 'mount -f' no longer works. As a consequence, extra mount options that libmount *should* record in /run/mount/utab are not recorded for any filesystem that is mounted before the rootfs is marked rw, including but not limited to _netdev. This potentially leaves the system with no way to cleanly unmount some network-dependent filesystems at shutdown time. Relatedly, even if /run/mount/utab were being updated properly by 'mount -f', there appears to be no interface for querying these values. /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh currently assumes it should read from /etc/mtab; and the 'findmnt' utility doesn't appear to honor utab even when using the '-m' option: $ findmnt -m -O _netdev $ echo $? 1 $ This is a significant regression in handling of network-based block devices, such as iscsi and nbd, compared with squeeze. I think it's important that this be resolved before release. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 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 2.20.1-5.3 block device id library ii libc6 2.13-38 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libmount1 2.20.1-5.3 block device id library ii libselinux1 2.0.96-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libsepol1 2.0.42-1 SELinux library for manipulating b mount recommends no packages.
