https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640967 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640967#c0 Summary: mount.devfs in /usr/sbin/ not found by mount in /sbin Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Michael.James@csiro.au QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.6.10-0.3.1 Firefox/3.6.10 The devfs2 RPM installs the binary mount.devfs in /usr/sbin. The mount command only looks in /sbin and fails with "Unknown Filesystem type 'devfs'" Simply copying mount.devfs to /sbin can make the mount command succeed. Probably umount.devfs needs to be moved too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install devfs2 RPM 2. Check you have the mount.devfs command with: root> which mount.devfs 3. Setup a mount point and entry in /etc/fstab 4. Try mount /<mountpoint> Actual Results: The mount command fails with "Unknown file system type 'devfs'". Running it under strace confirms that mount only looks for mount.devfs in /sbin Making mount.devfs available in /sbin makes the mount command succeed. Expected Results: The devfs2 package should install mount.devfs into /sbin or at least put a link there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(is that the correct repo?) I get version 1.4.1 build 1.2 and it has the bug.
Should be fixed in the davfs2 1.4.6 package, please test
Please advise where to get version 1.4.6 from
(I can't, don't have a webdav server at hands).
Yes you can. Just test with a non-existing server. $ sudo mount -t davfs https://foo.bar.net /mnt/ If the bug occurs the error will be "unknown filetype davfs". davfs.mount is not called at all. If the bug is fixed, mount.davfs will be called, you will asked for user and password (add whatever you want) and then you will get error /sbin/mount.davfs: Mounting failed. Could not resolve hostname `foo.bar.net': Host not found -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
