[9fans] Unmount of /mnt directory

[9fans] Unmount of /mnt directory

[Pavel Klinkovsky]

Hi all,

it seems I still do not fully understand namespaces.
But this sequence seems strange to me:

cdfs -d /dev/sdD0
unmount /mnt/cd

...everything is OK.

cdfs -d /dev/sdD0
unmount /mnt

...I unmounted wrong directory...

cdfs -d /dev/sdD0
cdfs: openscsi '/dev/sdD0': '/dev/sdD0/raw' device or object already
in use

...this situation is persistent.

What happened in the system when I unmounted /mnt directory?

Thanks for explanation beforehand.

on my system /mnt is constructed like this

	chula# ns | grep '/mnt $'
	bind -c /root/mnt /mnt
	mount -a '#s/factotum' /mnt

if i unmount /mnt i get

	chula# unmount /mnt
	chula#  '/mnt $'

it might be surprising that, e.g.,
	mount -c '#D/ssl/2/data' /mnt/term
is not unmounted, but the mntpt isn't /mnt,
it's /mnt/term.  things below /mnt are not
accessable because we must walk from the
root.

with this knowledge, one can reconstruct
the former namespace and unmount /mnt/cd.

	chula# bind -c /root/mnt /mnt
	chula# mount -a '#s/factotum' /mnt
	chula# unmount /mnt/cd

alternatevely, "slay cdfs | rc" would work,
if you didn't care about that ns being screwy.

In fact, this is the most confusing point... ;-)

Thanks for explanation.
