Package: mount
Version: 2.20.1-5.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have several entries for cifs shares in /etc/fstab, each marked as
'user' mountable. I expect that 'mount -at cifs' scans through fstab and
attempts to mount each of these, either deciding to perform the mount
by itself or by delegating to mount.cifs.
What happens is that the mount command is rejected with the error
message
sts@nbofm020:~$ mount -at cifs
mount: only root can do that
though each single filesystem is mounted correctly
sts@nbofm020:~$ mount /ipmfas/ofm-projekte
sts@nbofm020:~$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used
Available Use% Mounted on
[...]
//ipmfas/ofm-projekte 2732431772 2628478316
103953456 97% /ipmfas/ofm-projekte
sts@nbofm020:~$
In fact, 'mount -at cifs' as user does not even reference /etc/fstab as
can be seen by running strace, so it seems to link the -a option to
a mandatory uid/euid of 0 at an early stage.
By the way, umount also does not correctly honor 'user', since from the
same shell a subsequent
sts@nbofm020:~$ umount /ipmfas/ofm-projekte
umount: only root can unmount //ipmfas/ofm-projekte from /ipmfas/ofm-projekte
fails.

Hello!
Given that there was no feedback on my previous assessment about the state
of the issues mentioned in the bug report, I guess we have a silent
agreement that this bug indeed can be considered resolved.
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
