[Bug 240653] New: mount warning not working for encrypted partitions
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=240653 Summary: mount warning not working for encrypted partitions Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: opensuse@dstoecker.de QAContact: qa@suse.de When trying to mount an partition already mounted, mount issues a warning and does not proceed. This warning is not issued when the partition is encrypted. I think the reasons is the usage of the loop device as inbetween layer (did not test for plain unencrypted loop devices, but I expect the same). Usually double mounting results in corrupted file systems. At least a warning should be issued. There is also no warning, when a data source is mounted on two different places. In this case a least warning should appear when one of the mounted places is not read-only. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

According to http://www.tux.org/lkml/#s14-6 this is perfectly valid. -- 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.

My only problem is the data corruption. If double mounting works without corrupting data I am happy to use it. If not the minimum I expect is to get a warning (better is to prevent it). Probably it works as expected with direct mounts and only the loopback is the problem. -- 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.

Calling this command twice is fatal for encrypted sources like our backup disks. -- 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.

The failure when mounting a device twice to the same mountpoint comes directly from the mount syscall by the kernel. For loop based mounts there is a different device for every mount, so the kernel cannot recognize that the two mounts are actually referring to the same file. I will add a check for this. -- 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.
