Description John Haxby 2003-02-13 14:10:40 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

Description of problem:
If you attempt to umount a partition that you don't have permission to unmount
then you normally get a message like

   "umount: only root can umount ..."

but I get gibberish instead of the user name.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. umount /boot (as an ordinary user)
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  umount: only U???\??? can unmount /dev/sda1 from /boot

on one system (resierfs) and

umount: only ???????? can unmount LABEL=/boot from /boot

on another (ext3 this time).


Expected Results:  I get this on a 7.3 system:

umount: only root can unmount LABEL=/boot from /boot


Additional info:

This is mount-2.11r-10

Could you try the latest mount package (rawhide preferably, but RHL9 should work) and 
see if the problem goes away?

Comment 2 John Haxby 2003-08-14 08:51:35 UTC
On shrike with mount-2.11y-9 I get the message

   umount: only root can unmount LABEL=/boot from /boot

which would seem to be right and suggests that the problem has been fixed.
