Hmm, well, I can see a lot going wrong with that, such as garbage in the mount table if the test is interrupted. (Also, there's the little problem that I lack root access on the hosts that I do builds on these days: does that get me off the hook? :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
