Description Justin Piper 2014-10-21 23:35:12 UTC
Description of problem:

The man page for mount.davfs includes this example of adding an fstab entry so that an unprivileged user can mount the share:

       To allow an ordinary user to mount there must be an entry in fstab
              http://webdav.org/dav   /media/dav   davfs   noauto,user   0   0

When I tried this I got the following error from mount:

       $ mount /media/dav
       mount: unknown filesystem type 'davfs'

It turns out that mount.davfs is in /usr/sbin and mount looks for it only in /sbin. Creating a symlink to it in /sbin resolved the problem. I checked the RPM from EPEL7 and it looks like it would also have this problem.

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

1.4.7-6.el6

How reproducible:

Always
