When I try to mount a webDAV partition as a non-root user, I get /sbin/mount.davfs: / is the home directory of user kernoops. You can't mount into another users home directory This worked in 9.04 jaunty my fstab for the partition is https://hostname_here.edu /media/dav davfs rw,noauto,user 0 0 mount /media/dav produces this error my davfs2.conf contains dav_group davfs2 use_locks 0 man mount.davfs2 reads: When mounted by an ordinary user, the mount point must not lie within the home directory of another user. but kernoops seems like a strange user with a home directory of root. Can this directory be changed or can mount.davfs be fixed?
