[Bug 99437] Re: umount: mount disagrees with the fstab

[Daniel Smedegaard Buus]

It is now almost six years later since the original bug report (#71609)
was filed, and Precise still has this bug (sshfs). The workaround
described in post #22 (which I believe stems from here:
http://www.unicom.com/blog/entry/651) may work for umount, but it breaks
pubkey authentication on mount (I'm prompted for my password even though
I have working file-based authentication).

I was under the impression that this was a trivial one-liner bugfix? Why
is this still unsolved after six years with a working fix having been
released?

Title:
  umount: mount disagrees with the fstab

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mount

  I am not root.

  I can mount a filing system:

     $ mount /mnt/backups
     (no errors)

  I cannot umount the filing system:

     $ umount /mnt/backups
     umount: /mnt/backups mount disagrees with the fstab

  My fstab looks like this:

     $ grep backups /etc/fstab
     UUID=52ff9f34-23e4-4b1b-adfe-6d02ed07b5bd /mnt/backups    ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,user 0       1

  Oh, I see that there is more information about this bug here:

     https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/71609

  And that there is a patch for it here:

     http://librarian.launchpad.net/5596114/util-linux_mount.patch

  The patch is a one line of code fix in fstab.c and mount_blkid.h.

  I am using 6.10 Server.  This bug is breaking some very important
  scripts and is very annoying!

  I don't suppose you could give this a quick fix.

  Thanks!
