Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
I am suggesting this be marked as wishlist, since the expected behavior is not the default in any version of Linux that I know of. The leading "/" is always required from top-level directories. Perhaps defining an alias or function could be done to automatically add this when necessary, but it must also be removed when necessary. For example, media/cdrom fails, but so does /USER/Documents if USER is a subdirectory. /home/USER/Documents is the correct directory. Using the leading "/" for non top-level directories fails. For those with issues other than reading the directories with/without the leading "/", please file a new bug report. Thanks for helping. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - umount doesn't understand relative mount point names + umount doesn't understand relative mount point names (leading "/" missing) -- umount doesn't understand relative mount point names (leading "/" missing) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226606 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
