# mount -o ro -t tmpfs none /usr/local # mount -o remount,rw /usr/local Here the remount hangs. I have Linux 3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.0.fc17.x86_64 and util-linux-2.20-1.fc17.x86_64. The hang is in user-space, mount consumes all available CPU time, no syscalls are performed by mount in that time. Debugger shows it cycles on remove_context_options(). Once calling try_mount_one(), debug does not return and I need to SIGINT to get debugger again and the PC pop ups in remove_context_options() again. Also debugger struggles `Source file is more recent than executable' even if I have up-to-date debuginfo packags. I'm not sure what happens. I don't get any new denials by SElinux or messages from kernel.
Please, grep /usr/local /proc/self/mountinfo before the remount. Thanks.
