Does the kernel crash and burn if you pass the filesystem an option it does not know about on a mount? If not then just have mount pass all the options it gets to the kernel, the fs weeds out what it likes and the full thing gets stored for use in /proc/self/mounts. That would mean the above would have loop stored for the first and not for the second and so umount would know what to do with each case. (from another bit of this thread) This would also mean that the user keyword can be stored too. -- Red herrings strewn hither and yon. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
