I'll now sending in a PR to get a small note into the BUGS section of mount(2) and mount(8) to give others a chance to solve it a bit faster. > For kicks, "cd /usr2; pwd". Bet it'll fail. Same for SGI's Irix 6.2. Bash was irritating me at first (it internally stores the name of the current working directory) but with sh it doesn't work. Interesting. :-) > Use 755 permissions on your underlying mount point and put the problem > out of your misery. That's how I solved it. It was just irritating. To avoid this sort of problems bothering others I think the man pages should mention it. See above.
