i hacked together a patch that retries to bind mount once with MS_REMOUNT added to the flags instead of printing out the warning. it seems to work, but i don't have the insights if it may break anything. with this it is possible to bind mount a directory in fstab with options "bind,ro", as well as mounting it on the command line in one line (without remount,ro).
it does not address other issues mentioned in my original report. jones please comment! thanks ** Patch added: "ro-retry.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/util-linux-ng/+bug/712892/+attachment/1828697/+files/ro-retry.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/712892 Title: mount (silently) ignores options for bind mounts -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
