Seems to me that the filesystem-specific mount and/or the filesystem module should get the 'device' path unmodified, and deal with it how it will. (For instance, as noted, nfs mounts can also contain a trailing path, and nfsserv:/ should work unsurprisingly).
nfs currently works because it doesn't try to validate that '/' exists; mount.nfs requires a :, and passes on a potentially-empty path to the kernel mount function. Ceph's kernel module could accept that as well, but the fact remains that mountall really should not be removing the trailing /. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809221 Title: unable to mount ceph root at boot due to stripping of trailing slashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/809221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
