(Bringing this here from support after finding the fix.) Early last month I discovered that a user could not umount anything mounted via the 'user' option in fstab. OK, I expect many people don't do that - it's typically for mounting external devices on a desktop, and I guess that desktop environments use a raft of other packages to let the user sitting at the machine do that. Anyway, I've now found the fix:
http://marc.info/?l=util-linux-ng&m=137945227914961&w=2 which is in util-linux-2.24. I'm unsure if 2.23.1 was affected, I don't have any systems using that. Investigation of my six LFS-7.4-or-newer x86_64 systems showed that all of them needed this fix (to be clear, I upgraded to 2.24). My one i686 system does NOT need this, so the problem might be specific to x86_64. Is this worth adding to the errata for 7.4 ? Also, on 5 of the 6 machines (desktops, running 3.11 or later kernels) the last/last test in 2.24 fails when running the tests as a user on a completed system before installing the newer version. It was ok on my server which is using a 3.10 kernel. That's just an unrelated data point. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
