Thank you for taking the time to open a thorough bug report and also submit a patch.
I can't personally think of any fallout of the suggested changes, but it does seem that it would be best to run this behavior by upstream first, and there have been other discussions on such changes [1]. That discussion at least resulted in a warning that the warning you show above. I think it would be probably best to post this upstream and see what their response is. Upstream has mailing list info at [2]. -- [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.utilities.util-linux-ng/2771 [2] http://userweb.kernel.org/~kzak/util-linux-ng/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/712892 Title: mount (silently) ignores options for bind mounts -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
