I have edited my /etc/fstab to reflect recent changes in our shared drives (CIFS-based). I have unmounted all of these drives. However, when I mount the new ones, the old ones are sometimes mounted. They have changed, for example, the IP address for the server. However, sometimes the newly mounted drives list the old IP address. Which is no longer available. I am uncertain how they are messing with the server address externally. But the old address spec does not exist in /etc/fstab. Perhaps it is being picked up from /etc/mtab? How can I get mtab to reflect the current mounts and forget any that are not mounted? This is a 12.3 system. Update is in the pipeline...
Why don't you check whether they are still in mtab? If they are, umount them, and the file should be cleared.
Other hint: OS 12.3 uses systemd, reload config (and thus force re-read of fstab) via "systemctl daemon-reload" as root have a look at the remaining .mount units "systemctl|grep mount", sometimes the old ones persist after unmount. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
