Package: mount Version: 2.12r-19etch1 Severity: normal File: /bin/mount Hi
I have a directory tree like /a /a/b /a/c where /a/b and /a/c mount --bind to /srv/b and /srv/c That normally works fine. Today I unmounted /a and tried to fsck the partition. $ sudo umount /dev/sda1 $ sudo fsck -C0 /dev/sda1 fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) /dev/sda1 is mounted. WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no check aborted. After 30 mins messing around I finally noticed that mount still showed /a/b mounted on /srv/b etc. Please refuse to umount /a whilst /a/b is still bind mounted to /srv/b. (There are alternatives like automatically umounting /a/b when /a is umounted, or having the kernel somehow disable access to /srv/b when /a is umount. Both are not a good idea imo if the admin might have forgotten to stop services that access /srv/b). Thanks for your work in Debian.
