Package: smbfs Version: 3.0.23d-4 Severity: grave umount.cifs removes /etc/mtab even if it's a symlink to /proc/mounts and writes a regular file instead
I'm setting the Severity to "grave" because I think losing a symlink can be considered "data loss" (the symlink is "data") and using a regular file for mtab is not an option in my case. Here's a session (only the relevant output, for brevity): arwen:~# ls -l /etc/mtab lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-01-25 17:38 /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts arwen:~# cat /proc/mounts //10.0.0.150/builds /mnt/150/builds cifs rw,mand,unc=\\10.0.0.150\builds,username=root,rsize=16384,wsize=57344 0 0 //10.0.0.150/repositories /mnt/150/repositories cifs rw,mand,unc=\\10.0.0.150\repositories,username=root,rsize=16384,wsize=57344 0 0 arwen:~# umount /mnt/150/builds arwen:~# ls -l /etc/mtab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1281 2007-01-25 17:39 /etc/mtab Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages smbfs depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomer 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-1 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.4.4-6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30-13.2 OpenLDAP libraries ii netbase 4.28 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii samba-co 3.0.23d-4 Samba common files used by both th smbfs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
