Instead of > passing them to the kernel as it used to, it now prints "mount: failed > to parse mount options" Using LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=all mount -t udf -o uid=ignore,gid=forget ... shows the following message (among others): 24171: libmount: UTILS: cannot convert 'ignore' username to UID ... and according to the following code you seem to be very right that except an actual uid you can also pass 'uid=ignore' or 'uid=forget' explicitly: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/fs/udf/super.c#n352 I see several possible options for implementing this in the future: - special-case 'ignore' and 'forget' and pass those as is. - if uid-lookup fails, try the above. - (assuming different filesystems have different special options) let any fs-option through as-is if 'smart lookup' fails. - ... I'm adding the upstream mailing list to CC in the hope that someone has a suggestion on how to best handle this case. > > busybox mount works fine, so the kernel is still happy with the options. > And even in 4.2, they're still documented in > Documentation/filesystems/udf.txt, so they should work. Thanks for the extra data point. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
