Subject: [PATCH] mount: first look for mountpoint
|
|
|
|
# mount <device|dir>
|
|
|
|
The current code looks for a device and then for a mountpoint in
|
|
/etc/fstab. This is not user friendly solution. People usually use
|
|
|
|
# mount /dir
|
|
|
|
to mount any filesystem. It makes more sense to check for mountpoint
|
|
and if not found then for device.
|
|
|
|
This is also important for bind mounts, for example if you have in
|
|
your fstab:
|
|
|
|
/dev/sda1 /mnt/foo auto defaults
|
|
/mnt/foo /mnt/bar none bind
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
# mount /mnt/foo
|
|
|
|
should be interpreted as the first entry and /dev/sda1 should be
|
|
mounted.
