Description of problem: I set up RAID5 according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Cockpit_RAID and tried some magic with Mount Options. 1. I changed Mount Options to "defaults,HelloWorld=1" - When I tried to mount it I got (correct) error message: "Error mounting system-managed device /dev/md127pq:..." 2. I cleared Filesystem Options -> Mount Point and tried mount again - it succeeded in /run/media/<some hash> but without user-defined mount options. 3. I reopened Filesystem Options again and saw that Mount Point is set to "/data". Mount / Unmount didn't changed anything and partition was mounted to /run/media/... 4. Changing of Filesystem Options caused that partition was mounted again to /data properly. 5. I set Mount Options "defaults,users,uid=1001,gid=1001" and mounting of the partition was unsuccessful again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set mount options that are not correct 2. Try to mount the partition 3. Clear mount point and try to mount it again 4. See the mount point in Filesystem Options, do Mount / Unmount Actual results: 1. pass (no option check - but probably ok) 2. fail (ok) 3. it will mount to some shared place like /run/media but without any user-defined options 4. There is mount point set (what you defined, "/data" in my case) but mount will mount the partition to shared place like /run/media. Only changing the Mount Options (or Mount Point) will "reset" the mount/unmount process and new data will be given to mount. Expected results: 1. pass 2. fail 3. fail 4. fail (+ clearing of "Mount Point" field) Additional info:
Upstream: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/1223 This has been addressed in Cockpit 0.26. Now you can't specify mount options without also specifying a mount point. This should reduce the confusion about what is going on. Cockpit will still mount a filesystem in a default location when no mount point has been specified explicitly. We might make it so that you will be asked for a mount point at the time of mounting. See https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/1294
