mpp 96/03/09 16:20:29 Modified: sbin/mount mount.c Log: Do not allow the caller to specify the same path for the special device file and the mount point. This prevents the "unexpected recursive lock" panic from happening. This is a temporary fix. A kernel fix would be much much more ugly than this, and still wouldn't be the "right" way to fix it. After some of Terry's file system rework is installed, it will be possible to properly fix this problem in a clean manner. Until then, this change should prevent use from getting a problem report on this every month or so (and I just noticed that someone in one of the freebsd news groups was complaining about this problem, too). Revision Changes Path 1.10 +19 -0 src/sbin/mount/mount.c
