Didn't know where to report this. I looked at the source code, and it's full of different names and email addresses -- so the Debian users list seemed like a safe bet ...
The "mount" command seems to be rather picky about the format of the /etc/fstab file. In particular, the "options" column. The comma-separated list of options can't just a separated by commas -- each option must be separated by a comma and a space. Example: ------------------------ (tao)hnine:/etc[503]$ cat fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # #<filesys> <mnt pnt> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hdb3 / ext2 defaults 0 1 /dev/hdb1 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb2 /home ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda1 /jaz ext2 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /dosc vfat defaults 0 2 /dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660 auto, async, dev, exec, ro, suid, user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /dosa msdos defaults, user 0 0 (tao)hnine:/etc[504]$ mount /cdrom mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only (tao)hnine:/etc[505]$ (tao)hnine:/etc[505]$ mount # EVERTHING IS FINE HERE /dev/hdb3 on / type ext2 (rw) /proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/hdb2 on /home type ext2 (rw) /dev/hda1 on /dosc type vfat (rw) /dev/hdd on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro) (tao)hnine:/etc[506]$ (tao)hnine:/etc[506]$ (tao)hnine:/etc[506]$ umount /cdrom (tao)hnine:/etc[507]$ (tao)hnine:/etc[507]$ cat fstab # IT'S CHANGED! -- SPACES AFTER COMMAS TAKEN OUT # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # #<filesys> <mnt pnt> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hdb3 / ext2 defaults 0 1 /dev/hdb1 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb2 /home ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda1 /jaz ext2 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 /dosc vfat defaults 0 2 /dev/hdd /cdrom iso9660 auto,async,dev,exec,ro,suid,user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /dosa msdos defaults, user 0 0 (tao)hnine:/etc[508]$ (tao)hnine:/etc[508]$ mount /cdrom (tao)hnine:/etc[509]$ (tao)hnine:/etc[509]$ mount # OH, NO! /dev/hdb3 on / type ext2 (rw) /proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/hdb2 on /home type ext2 (rw) /dev/hda1 on /dosc type vfat (rw) /dev/hdd on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev) (tao)hnine:/etc[510]$ (tao)hnine:/etc[510]$ umount /cdrom (tao)hnine:/etc[511]$ ------------------------ There is nothing I can see in the documentation about this... Can mount be easily changed so that it's not so picky? -- Harmon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
