From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I try to umount a volume created at installation time in order to resize it. When I umount the partition, it seems to work correctly, buy when I view the /etc/mtab, the entry for the partition is still there. This makes other programs that rely on the contents of /etc/mtab fail. The partition seems to be umounted, because if I try to umount it again I get a message saying that the partition is not mounted. The problem resides in the contents of /etc/mtab not been updated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mount-2.11y-31.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. umount a lvm partition 2. cat /etc/mtab Expected Results: I think, the partition should have been deleted from /etc/mtab, or if it has been impossible to umount it, then umount should have returned an error. Additional info:
Created attachment 107721 [details] Detailed description Here you have a more detailed description of my lvm configuration.
I think the problem begins if you try to umount the / partition. when doing so, the system does not report any error, but all subsequent tries to umount a partition leaves /etc/mtab unchanged.
If you umount the root partition the file /etc/mtab is unavailable for arbitrary command and the mount doesn't update /etc/mtab of course. Please, can you step by step describe how reproduce your problem?
