A sloppy option forces mount programs to ignore mount options not supported by a filesystem type.When there is an external mount program present (/sbin/mount.*), "mount" must pass all burden connected with mounting to this program this includes sloppy option. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. To reproduce a bug you need "/bin/mount" from sys-apps/util-linux be present on your system and some external mounting application, e.g. /sbin/mount.nfs from net-fs/nfs-utils package (or instead of installing nfs-utils package, you may create an executable there). 2. Now tun strace. It doesn't really matter, what you pass into a program, just make sure that a) "-t nfs" is present b) "-s" sloppy option is present and c) "/sbin/mount.nfs" is present: strace -f -e trace=file mount -t nfs -s myserver:/path/to/dir /mount/target 3. As you can see in strace log: execve("/bin/mount", ["mount", "-t", "nfs", "-s", "myserver:/path/to/dir", "/mount/target"], [/* 58 vars */]) = 0 // ........ execve("/sbin/mount.nfs", ["/sbin/mount.nfs", "myserver:/path/to/dir", "/mount/target", "-o", "rw"], [/* 54 vars */]) = 0 // ........ 4. When /sbin/mount.nfs is called, sloppy option is missing. Actual Results: Sloppy option is not passed to the underlying mount program. Expected Results: Sloppy option must be passed to the underlying mount program, otherwise it changes execution logic. To fix a bug, go to util-linux-2.12r-r7/mount/mount.c, find check_special_mountprog() and add sloppy option: if (nomtab) mountargs[i++] = "-n"; + if (sloppy) + mountargs[i++] = "-s"; if (verbose) mountargs[i++] = "-v";
Can you reproduce this w/ 2.13-r1?
Checked 2.13-r1 from Gentoo, it has code that handles sloppy correctly. 2.13-pre7 from kernel.org does not. Sorry, I didn't check development version from Gentoo. I assumed that kernel.org has the latest... Will 2.13-r1 be marked as stable soon, or do you think there should be a 2.12r-r8 with sloppy corrected? The bug appeared when nfs-utils released their own version of mount (/sbin/mount.nfs) and mount switched to calling external mount instead of handling everything internally.
Well, today I synced and I see that you continue to distribute 2.12r-r* versions. Would you, please include a bug fix into the 2.12r-r* tree as well, so the bug get finally fixed in stable Gentoo.
This is fixed in 2.13, as said above. Will get fixed in stable once that version gets stabilized.
