Description of problem: pam_mount now writes the following in /etc/mtab: /dev/sdb1 /home/notting crypt defaults 0 0 This makes 'mount -o <some option>,remount /home/notting' fail - it tries to operate on /dev/sdb1 (which fails). If you pass the actual device-mapper device, that also fails due to that device not being in fstab or mtab. It can be made to work by passing "mount -i ...", so that it doesn't actually try to call mount.crypt for the remount. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pam_mount-1.20-1.fc11.x86_64
I guess the "solution" to the problem is to check for "-o remount" in mount.crypt and only perform the remount of the device-mapper device in this case. Reported upstream: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2715698&group_id=41452&atid=430593
Meh, moving items between trackers changes the URL :-/ https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2715698&group_id=41452&atid=430596
This should be fixed in iirc pam_mount-1.22-1.fc11 Btw. what did you need to remount your home directory for?
Was playing with noatime/relatime.
