With Wheezy Debian replaced /etc/mtab with a symbolic link to /proc/mounts. This causes trouble with davfs2.
Background: davfs2 uses file system type 'davfs' in fstab and mtab. But it uses the fuse kernel module (or coda). So in /proc/mounts the file system type is 'fuse' and the unmount helper umount.davfs is no longer found. To solve this problem would require some serious changes in davfs2 to use the subtype options of fuse (file system type fuse.davfs). Please don't expect this changes soon. Meanwhile there are two options to work around this problem: a) Switch back to the traditional /etc/mtab and davfs2 will work as before. Please see http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#mtab for details. b) Stay with /proc/mounts. Unmounting will work but umount will return immediately. You will have to check manually whether the mount.davfs process has terminated before mounting the same resource again and before you shut down your system or the network connection. With /proc/mounts the mount option 'user' will no longer work. You will have to use option 'users' instead, which allows any user to unmount.
