I just upgraded from Squeeze to Wheezy and noticed that now NFS exports have an extra trailing slash in /proc/mounts (aka /etc/mtab, aka /proc/self/mounts).
> server:/vol/export1/ on /server/mountpath type nfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime…) But the trailing slash is not originated in /etc/fstab. > server:/vol/export1 /server/mountpath nfs rw,... The problem is that if you try to umount using the same string as in /etc/fstab, it will not umount. > umount: server:/vol/export1: not found If you add the trailing slash, the umount works. Similarly, if you try to edit fstab based on exports in /proc/mounts you may have trouble unless you carefully handle trailing slashes. I noticed this problem because an automated script started failing. /var/run/mount/utab does not contain the extra trailing slash. Googling hasn't returned anything directly relevant for NFS, though this looks close: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=653630 There was a similar problem on CIFS that was labeled a bug and fixed. Does anyone know if this change was on purpose? I could imagine that somebody wants to add trailing slashes to directories to make them more readable.
