Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.23d-4
Severity: grave
umount.cifs removes /etc/mtab even if it's a symlink to /proc/mounts
and writes a regular file instead
I'm setting the Severity to grave because I think losing a symlink
can be considered data loss (the symlink is data) and using a
regular file for mtab is not an option in my case.
Here's a session (only the relevant output, for brevity):
arwen:~# ls -l /etc/mtab
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-01-25 17:38 /etc/mtab - /proc/mounts
arwen:~# cat /proc/mounts
//10.0.0.150/builds /mnt/150/builds cifs
rw,mand,unc=\\10.0.0.150\builds,username=root,rsize=16384,wsize=57344 0 0
//10.0.0.150/repositories /mnt/150/repositories cifs
rw,mand,unc=\\10.0.0.150\repositories,username=root,rsize=16384,wsize=57344 0 0
arwen:~# umount /mnt/150/builds
arwen:~# ls -l /etc/mtab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1281 2007-01-25 17:39 /etc/mtab
Thanks.
