If :/foo and :/foo/ have the same meaning, then we would want to still normalize them for mountall's purposes. I think ceph is not the only network filesystem where stripping the only / may give unexpected results; I get strange results for NFSv4 root mounts too, though with NFS it doesn't actually fail to mount, it just looks strange.
I haven't reviewed the patch, but the above general principle makes sense to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809221 Title: unable to mount ceph root at boot due to stripping of trailing slashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/809221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
