This is a bug in mount(8). The mountfs() function calls several functions which may cause mount(8) to exit with error status. This breaks the "failok" functionality. I tried to remove most exit points in the following patch. Changing checkpath() isn't trivial because also file system specific mount commands use the function. http://people.freebsd.org/~jh/patches/mount-failok.diff Please report back if you are able to test the patch. -- Jaakko _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
