* mount: automatically detect and loop-mount regular filesKarel Zak2010-03-151-11/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows to automatically create a loop device from a regular file if a filesystem type is not specified, for example: mount /path/disk.img /mnt If the filesystem type is specified than "-o loop" is required. Note that there is not a restriction (on kernel side) that prevents regular file as a mount(2) source argument. A filesystem that is able to mount regular files could be implemented. Based on a patch from Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com>. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | For example the /sbin/mount.fuse command calls mount -i -f /dev/foo /absolut/path and it does not make sense to canonicalize already absolute paths. The new --no-canonicalize option allows to avoid unwanted readlink() calls. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* mount: document changed semantics of tmpfs size option in mount.8kevin.granade@gmail.com2009-09-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Linux kernel commit 818db35992c249dc32c1d86daf7d533fb0952f5d fixed a problem where invoking mount -t tmpfs with a size argument smaler than the size of one page caused the limits on the size of a tmpfs to not operate. The commit also caused the number supplied by the size option to be rounded up to the nearest page size instead of down. This alters the man page to match the behavior of the kernel in this instance.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Karel Zak wrote: "This is very old (10+years) feature. The mount(8) is trying to found mountpoint/device in fstab and then in mtab. I guess the original purpose for this feature is user-friendly 'mount /node -o remount'. Unfortunately, the code does not check for MS_REMOUNT flag and consults mtab in all cases. (The code is consulting fstab/mtab before mount options parsing.)" This commit documents this feature. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

* mount: remount doesn't care about loop=Karel Zak2008-05-191-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The command # mount -oremount <spec> <dir> doesn't read fstab or mtab. This is expected behaviour. Unfortunately, we have to care about the internal loop= option which is generated and maintained by mount(8)/umount(8). The loop= option has to be persistent. How to reproduce this bug: # mount -o loop /home/images/vfat.img /mnt/img; grep vfat /etc/mtab; \ mount -o remount,ro /home/images/vfat.img /mnt/img; grep vfat /etc/mtab; /home/images/vfat.img /mnt/img vfat rw,loop=/dev/loop0 0 0 /home/images/vfat.img /mnt/img vfat ro 0 0 Reported-By: David Chinner <dgc@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
