[Bug 503003] Re: multiple entries in fstab with same mount-point

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package mountall - 2.50

---------------
mountall (2.50) unstable; urgency=low


  * Add support for pstore.  Closes: #722212.
  * Allow multiple fstab entries with the same mountpoint: we still mask
    any entries that came from a different source (i.e., /etc/fstab will
    mask /lib/init/fstab), but if there are multiple entries in /etc/fstab,
    treat them all as separate mounts instead of letting the last one win.
    LP: #503003.
  * Don't set 'console output' anymore; now that we have upstart logging by
    default, logs will be captured and (assuming /var/log becomes writable
    at some point) mountall is debuggable without having to spew text to the
    console.
  * Support reading --verbose/--debug options from /proc/cmdline, so that
    we can give users a better way to debug mountall without having to
    edit the upstart job.
  * Since everything is in a single event loop, a request from plymouth to
    skip a mount may come in after the mount has already happened.  So don't
    assert on a bogus request, just treat it as a no-op and continue.
    LP: #731800.

Title:
  multiple entries in fstab with same mount-point

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  Release: 9.10
  Package-Version: 1.0, 1.0.1

  Multiple entries in fstab with the same mount-point get not mounted as
  expected. (see mount-point '/home' in attached fstab for example)

  Probably it doesn't make very much sense to mount different sources with different options to the same mount-point but in case of dazukofs (which is used by avira antivir) the following is necessary
  #> mount -t dazukofs /home /home
  after the real partitions as been mounted to '/home' to tell the on-access-scanner to include '/home'

  But this cannot be done automatically during boot by putting an according line to /etc/fstab since mountall just does a
  'mount -a -t dazukofs -o defaults /home /home', but the real partition doesn't ever get mounted.

  By invoking a manual 'mount -a' both fstab-lines get interpreted as
  expected.
