Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-22.1
Severity: important
Given the following line in fstab:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt.d/sdb1 auto noauto,user,rw,noatime,nodiratime
This allows an ordinary user to mount the FS. Unmounting as the same user
however fails:
# echo $UID
1000
# mount /mnt.d/sdb1
# umount /mnt.d/sdb1
umount: only root can unmount /dev/sdb1 from /mnt.d/sdb1
# grep /mnt.d/sdb1 /proc/mounts
/dev/sdb1 /mnt.d/sdb1 vfat
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,nodiratime,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro
0 0
When /etc/mtab is a normal writable file, umount works.

My version of mount was too old (still from squeeze). After upgrading to
mount 2.20.1-5, the problem is gone.
