Alex Richman added the comment: Can confirm, ran into this issue. It's because os.path.ismount() works by checking if the path's parent is on a different device (e.g. st_dev is the same for 'path/' and 'path/..'), which obviously it is for a bind mount on the same filesystem.
It is actually documented that this is how it works (https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.path.html#os.path.ismount) but it's more of a passing comment than a warning, and who reads the docs for such an apparently simple function anyway? ;) Agree that it should be fixed by parsing /proc/mounts instead of the current mess, perhaps using getmntent(3) and friends. ---------- nosy: +Alex Richman _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29707> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
