Package: src:linux
Version: 4.9.13-1
Severity: normal
I'm using DRBD to keep a backup of my root filesystem (multiple snapshots
on remote machine).
Now I wanted to access an old version of a file; so I got me access to the
right snapshot (again via DRBD), and tried to mount the filesystem.
First I noticed that the actually passed in block device wasn't even used;
btrfs noticed that a filesystem with the same UUID is already mounted, and
so "helpfully" just mounted the (*wrong*) block device at the new location.
When I finally realized that, I umounted the new location and tried to use
"btrfstune" to change the snapshot's UUID, so that I can mount that
independently.
Much to my surprise "btrfstune" just told me
<device> is mounted
and after a brief investigation this showed to be true - /proc/mounts now
showed the _snapshot_ device as being in use for my root filesystem!
I could "fix" that by mounting my root device at the new location:
[root@cacao:/mnt]$ grep mapper /proc/self/mounts
/dev/mapper/hrbg / btrfs
rw,nodiratime,relatime,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/ 0 0
[root@cacao:/mnt]$ mount /dev/mapper/sda2_crypt /mnt/tmp3
[root@cacao:/mnt]$ grep mapper /proc/self/mounts
/dev/mapper/sda2_crypt / btrfs
rw,nodiratime,relatime,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/ 0 0
/dev/mapper/sda2_crypt /mnt/tmp3 btrfs
rw,relatime,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/ 0 0
So,
*) silently mounting the wrong device at the new location is very bad
behaviour; having a message
Filesystem with that UUID already mounted
would be a bit better (but not much, I hate the same thing in
XFS too)
*) changing the block device of the old location is a bug -- I don't
believe that the accesses are really done against the new location,
and if they were, that would be even worse.
Thank you for your attention!
