Unmounting a file system that is mounted on a subdirectory of a gfs2 filesystem will fail in RHEL 6 Resilient Storage clusters
Issue
- Mounting a filesystem as a submount on a
GFS2filesystem will cause umount to fail - I have a file system mounted on a subdirectory of GFS2, and
umountfails with "not found", but seems to leave the device mounted.
# mount | grep gfs2
/dev/dm-2 /mnt/a gfs2 rw,seclabel,relatime,hostdata=jid=0 0 0
/dev/dm-3 /mnt/a/b gfs2 rw,seclabel,relatime,hostdata=jid=0 0 0
# umount /mnt/a/b
umount: /mnt/a/b: not found
# echo $?
