Package: mount Version: 2.13.1.1-1 Severity: normal
At work, I have a home directory on a windows server. Therefore, my laptop has a /etc/fstab entry for it so I can mount it. I use the "user" option in order to avoid needing root to mount it. Mounting this works fine, but I cannot umount for some reason. I get this error message: $ mount pompel/home $ umount pompel/home umount: /home/helgehaf/pompel/home mount disagrees with the fstab The root user have no problem umounting, with exactly the same command. Using absolute paths like /home/helgehaf/pompel/home changes nothing. The filesystem itself works fine, although somewhat slow. The entry in /etc/fstab looks like this: \\pompel.aitel.hist.no\HOME /home/helgehaf/pompel/home cifs domain=AITELANS,credentials=/etc/fstab-smb-credentials,rw,noauto,iocharset=utf8,uid=helgehaf,gid=ansatt,sockopt=TCP_NODELAY,user Using "users" instead of "user" changes nothing either. I think the user doing the mount should be able to umount too, as long as there is no open files. I cannot see anything wrong with the fstab entry. I have seen this problem forever, that is since mount.cifs became useable. Mounting and umounting an iso9660 cdrom works fine as an unprivileged user. / and /home are ext3 filesystems, if that matters. /home is mounted with nodev, nosuid, usrquota and user_xattr -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (800, 'stable'), (700, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-rc8-hh1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mount depends on: ii libblkid1 1.41.0-3 block device id library ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 2.0.65-5 SELinux shared libraries ii libuuid1 1.41.0-3 universally unique id library mount recommends no packages.
