Hi,
Does anyone have a real RHEL4 machine so we can verify that this is the
upstream vendor?
I haven't looked into the nfs stuff yet, but the original bug was fairly
easy to reproduce.
Make two partitions right next to each other. (example: hda10 and hda11)
Make the first partition an ext3 partition, and label it. (example: MYLABEL)
Make the second partition a dos or vfat partition, be sure to make the
filesystem.
Edit your /etc/fstab and put both of them in. For the ext3 device, use
a LABEL.
Run "mount -a"
You will get an error similar to
mount: the label MYLABEL occurs on both /dev/hda10 and /dev/hda11
In this example, the two important lines in your fstab would look like
LABEL=MYLABEL /mnt/linux ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda15 /mnt/dos vfat defaults 0 0
If someone could try this on a real RHEL4 machine I would appreciate it.
If they find that it's their bug, if they would file a bugzilla
report, that would be even greater.

Hello,
I have a little more information about the bug with the new
mount command in util-linux-2.12a-16.EL4.25.
the bug is described in :
https://www.scientificlinux.org/bug.feature/bugs/12/pcng_issue_view
https://www.scientificlinux.org/bug.feature/bugs/13/pcng_issue_view
But there is also an other strange problem with NFS mount :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mount /distrib_labo
mount: distribhost:/distrib failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# host distribhost
distribhost.lmd.jussieu.fr is an alias for moreau.lmd.jussieu.fr.
moreau.lmd.jussieu.fr has address 134.157.47.150
but if I use the real name of this NFS server it works !
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# mount moreau:/distrib /distrib_labo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#
we have other aliases (CNAME) for this host that works !
for example divhost
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# host divhost
divhost.lmd.jussieu.fr is an alias for moreau.lmd.jussieu.fr.
moreau.lmd.jussieu.fr has address 134.157.47.150
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# df

It would be nice if you put the previous version till it works.
Thanks for you help.
