Description Dylan 2014-02-25 04:41:03 UTC
localmount does not take into account a btrfs subvol when attempting to mount at boot, saying that a partition is already mounted or the target directory is busy.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. format disk to btrfs
2. mount disk and create two subvols, gentoo and home
3. btrfs su set-default (id of gentoo subvol) /
4. umount, remount disk, mkdir home, mount the home subvol
5. install gentoo into gentoo subvol
6. put these lines in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdb / btrfs noatime 0 0
/dev/sdb /home btrfs defaults,noatime,subvol=home 0 0
7. boot into new gentoo setup. 
Actual Results:  
On booting into the new gentoo setup, localmount will not mount /home, saying:
mount: /dev/sdb is already mounted or /home busy
       /dev/sdb is already mounted on /

But mounting /home manually with 'mount /home' after booting works fine.

Expected Results:  
Expecting localmount to mount /home without complaining.

btrfs su li / :
ID 257 gen 1578 top level 5 path home
ID 258 gen 1625 top level 5 path gentoo
ID 267 gen 1165 top level 5 path snapshots/GentoobareSystem21022014

fstab:
/dev/sdb	/	btrfs	noatime		0 0
/dev/sdb	/home	btrfs	defaults,noatime,subvol=home	0 0

mounts after unsucessful boot:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/sdb on / type btrfs (rw,noatime,noacl,space_cache)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=610456k,mode=755)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=762677,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620)
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
shm on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)

mounts after mounting /home manually, same as above except with:
/dev/sdb on /home type btrfs (rw,noatime,subvol=home)

Comment 2 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2014-02-25 17:51:28 UTC
@base-system:
This looks to me more like an issue with util-linux than OpenRc. Can you
please advise me on this? Is there something I can do within OpenRc, or
is it an issue with mount?
Comment 3 Dylan 2014-02-25 19:53:27 UTC
From reading the source (mount.c in util-linux-2.22.2), I can confirm it seems there's an EBUSY error in mount(8) that seems to be triggered by mount(2). 
I added a line to mount.c:
                warnx(_("%s is already mounted or %s busy"), src, tgt);
+               warnx(_("mount options: %s"),mnt_context_get_options(cxt));

and this does show that the subvol=(etc) is being passed along.
Comment 4 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2014-07-09 13:51:14 UTC
This was originally assigned to OpenRC as an issue in localmount.
However, as shown in the bug, it was confirmed to be an issue with mount.

A newer version of util-linux is being stabilized, so you might want to
check and see if this is still an issue.

Thanks,

William
