I've observed a behavior of mount(8) which seems wrong and am wondering what other's think of it; specifically whether it deserves a PR. $ tail -1 /etc/fstab asdf /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw,noauto 0 0 $ mount asdf $ cat /compat/linux/proc/version FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE #0: Wed Dec 26 18:41:29 PST 2001 $ umount asdf umount: asdf: not currently mounted $ mount /dev/ad0s4a on / (ufs, local) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) linprocfs on /usr/compat/linux/proc (linprocfs, local) See how it ignores the device name from /etc/fstab and makes up it's own name so that you can't unmount it with the name it was mounted with unless you name it "linprocfs", which isn't the name suggested in linprocfs(5)? If this doesn't need fixing, I think I'll at least suggest a new note in the mount(8) and linproc(5) man pages. Another thing I noticed was that if I used "linproc" in /etc/fstab, it would mount "/compat/linux/proc" (no "/usr") on "linprocfs".
