Hm, that's not the behavior that I see. If I try to mount rpc_pipefs twice, mount exits with an error on the second attempt. root@satwelltest1:~# mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs root@satwelltest1:~# mount -t rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs mount: rpc_pipefs already mounted or /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs busy mount: according to mtab, rpc_pipefs is already mounted on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs root@satwelltest1:~# echo $? 32 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/811823 Title: idmapd upstart job ends in an inconsistent state if /usr is a separate partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/811823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
