I'm not sure what "/dev//umount" refers to, and I have not changed anything on my system ( no recompiling kernels, no new source ) since 3.1 came out. However, I'm not sure if this is is related, but I was testing my system to see if it was vulnerable to the .X11-unix exploit, where you link it to /etc and startx. After I discovered that it worked, I went to delete the link, and ended up removing /etc in the process. I had a backup tarball of this from a few hours before hand, which I promptly retored, however I'm not sure that it preserved links or file permissions. Also, mount reports: procfs on /proc (local) so I just can't figure out whats wrong. Please send suggestions on how I can fix this.
