Re: Regression Mounting /proc w/ kernel 3.4.0 - "uid" parameter no longer ignored.

[kd6lvw]

Ignoring "uid=#" is the documented behavior from the "mount(8)" man page for procfs.  That implies that the proposed patch should be [temporarily] installed.

I personally don't care if the option is restored or not.  My issue was that this side effect was not documented in any way in the change that occurred -- which affected documented behavior.

I mount my /proc file system in a "mount -at nonfs" statement in an initialization script.  The "uid" optional parameter was in /etc/fstab.  I have removed "uid" in my "at home" copy of the configuration but haven't visited the remote server to fix it there (I can't log in from remote as a result of this issue).
