Package: mount Version: 2.12p-4sarge1 Severity: normal The following is the relevant extract from my /etc/fstab file:
tmpfs /mnt/tmpfs tmpfs size=10G,mode=755 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 If I have a directory or file called tmpfs in the current directory when I invoke mount -a then an additional tmpfs is created and mounted on top of the one mounted on /mnt/tmpfs . This does not occur with proc . A transcript follows: cleopatra:~# mkdir bug cleopatra:~# cd bug cleopatra:~/bug# df -a | grep -E tmpfs\|proc proc 0 0 0 - /proc tmpfs 10485760 2280832 8204928 22% /mnt/tmpfs tmpfs 257476 0 257476 0% /dev/shm cleopatra:~/bug# mount -a cleopatra:~/bug# df -a | grep -E tmpfs\|proc proc 0 0 0 - /proc tmpfs 10485760 2280832 8204928 22% /mnt/tmpfs tmpfs 257476 0 257476 0% /dev/shm cleopatra:~/bug# touch proc tmpfs cleopatra:~/bug# mount -a cleopatra:~/bug# df -a | grep -E tmpfs\|proc proc 0 0 0 - /proc tmpfs 10485760 0 10485760 0% /mnt/tmpfs tmpfs 257476 0 257476 0% /dev/shm /root/bug/tmpfs 10485760 0 10485760 0% /mnt/tmpfs cleopatra:~/bug# umount /root/bug/tmpfs cleopatra:~/bug# df -a | grep -E tmpfs\|proc proc 0 0 0 - /proc tmpfs 10485760 2280832 8204928 22% /mnt/tmpfs tmpfs 257476 0 257476 0% /dev/shm -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.32 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages mount depends on: ii libblkid1 1.37-2sarge1 block device id library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libuuid1 1.37-2sarge1 universally unique id library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
