Bug 493158 – sys-apps/util-linux: `mount -at ...` fails but `mount -a -t ...` works

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Andreas Plesch 2013-12-02 21:48:24 UTC]

After noticing that the netmount init script did not mount a cifs mount, I tracked the issue to the mount -at $fstypes line in the script. Changing to an explicit "mount -a -t $fstypes" invocation resolves the issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.add a cifs mount line to /etc/fstab
2.reboot
3.observe how the mount is not mounted
Actual Results:  
cifs share is not mounted at boot

Expected Results:  
cifs share is mounted at boot

[Comment 1 Andreas Plesch 2013-12-02 21:54:32 UTC]

As mentioned spelling out the mount options as in

mount -a -t filesystems

works, and this is how I use the init scripts now.

I think that the "-at" version is commonly used, so I was surprised. I could not find similar reports for util-linux bugs but searching for "-at" is not very effective on any search interface to mailing lists or web archives.

[Comment 2 William Hubbs 2013-12-11 07:46:27 UTC]

@base-system:
Is this a bug in util-linux, or should I apply the fix he is requesting
in OpenRC?

Thanks,

William

(In reply to Andreas Plesch from comment #0)

does util-linux 2.24 work ?  if not, try running:

 sudo strace -o log mount -at cifs

and then post that log file as an attachment
