Hi,
There is a "mount" problem
with kernel 2.4.X (2.4.2-2, 2.4.7,...2.4.18)
When you try to mount a local or
remote file system to a specific mount point,
and you issue the same command
several time, to the SAME mount point,
you will not get an warning, that
this mount point is already mounted.
Instead, you'll get several
duplicated entries in /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab.
The "df" command will of
course output the same multiple entries.
One umount command removes ALL the entries from
/etc/mtab when kernel 2.4
is tailored to RedHat 6.2, but you need the same
number of umounts, as of the
mounts done in RedHat 7.1 .
Has somebody encountered such a problem ? How to
resolve it ?
In kernrels 2.2.X an ttempt to mount fails, with
the expected message:
mount: /filesystem already mounted or
/mountpoint busy
mount: according to mtab, /filesystem is
already mounted on /mountpoint
Thanks,
Avi Koski
