How is a bad error message (such a non-specific message) not a usability
problem?
> ... mount tells you to check dmesg for more detailed error messages.
No, it does not: From my report, here's what mount says:
# mount -t ext2 /dev/cdrw /mnt
mount: block device /dev/cdrw is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrw,
or too many mounted file systems
#
How do you claim that that tells the user to look at dmesg? There's
no mention of dmesg, checking logs, or anything similar.
I'm trying to get this usability problem fixed for users that run
into the same problem that I did.
If you don't feel like improving the message, then at least leave
the bug report open so users have a chance that someone will see
the problem and fix it some day.
