--- Begin Message ---Package: mount Version: 2.27~rc1-1 # mount --bind olddir newdir creates indistinguishable output from # mount /dev/sdd2 on /var/cache/apt/archives type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered) /dev/sdd2 on /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered) I.e., from the above output, one cannot tell if # mount /dev/sdd2 /tmp/k ls /tmp/k will produce the same as ls /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree or ls /var/cache/apt/archives !! Therefore # mount needs to be enhanced to indicate the difference. In the meantime the man page at mount --bind olddir newdir should mention the problem.

Changing the output format of well established commands like mount is very hard and would likely cause more issues then it solves. Instead you should the findmnt utility which will give you much more information in a much more flexible manner. > > In the meantime the man page at > mount --bind olddir newdir > should mention the problem. The mount manpage already refers to the findmnt utility. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
