I am using Hardy 8.04 and facing problem with unmounting a fuse file system automounted with udev or via commandline. It is possibly due to the bug pointed out here or closely related to it. Following are details from my system.
The fuse file system is mounted without errors for any user, and they can write to it: Case 1: # mtab entry created when file system is mounted using udev javafs /home/userid/mountpoint fuse.javafs rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other 0 0 udev rule SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", DRIVERS=="usb-storage", NAME="%k", RUN+="/home/userid/mount_script.sh &" On using the GUI option to unmount volume by right clicking the file system gives an error saying "umount: /home/userid/mymountpoint is not in the fstab (and you are not root)" On using command "fusermount -u /home/userid/mymountpoint" leads to an error saying "fusermount: entry for /home/userid/mymountpoint not found in /etc/mtab" File system unmounts correctly when using umount as root. Case 2: #mtab entry created when file system is mounted via command line javafs /home/userid/mymountpoint fuse.javafs rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,user=userid 0 0 On using the GUI option to unmount volume by right clicking the file system gives an error saying "umount: /home/user/mymountpoint is not in the fstab (and you are not root)" On using command "fusermount -u /home/userid/mymountpoint" file system is successfully unmounted. Interestingly in both cases, I do not see any entry for fuse filesystem in fstab. -- FUSE Filesystem type mismatch between fstab & mtab prevents umount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243373 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
