Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-4 Severity: normal /etc/mtab isn't a reliable way to find out what is currently mounted. Not only might it contain stale entries, but also see the bug I just filed on mount, where it fails to contain sub-mounts produced by mount --rbind. As a result, if you have anything in your /etc/fstab containing the rbind option that causes more than one filesystem to be bind mounted, umount will fail.
And then, because it failed to unmount a bind mount of my root filesystem, it remounted my root filesystem read-only. Hilarity and dirty filesystems ensued. As far as I can tell, getting the list of mounts from /proc/mounts instead of /etc/mtab should work fine. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-rc5 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii coreutils 5.2.1-2.1 The GNU core utilities ii dpkg 1.13.11 package maintenance system for Deb ii e2fsprogs 1.38-2 ext2 file system utilities and lib ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii lsb-base 3.0-11 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii util-linux 2.12p-8 Miscellaneous system utilities initscripts recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
