From: Lin Feng Shen <shenlinf(a)cn.ibm.com&gt; "mount [devname | dirname]" showes mount points according to the device name or directory name. Generally speaking, two path names shouldn't be different due to additional "/", e.g. /distros and /distros/, but it seems that mount command doesn't handle it properly, e.g. ---------- crash> mount VFSMOUNT SUPERBLK TYPE DEVNAME DIRNAME ... c00000000224eb80 c000000002589800 ext3 /dev/sda2 /boot ... crash> mount /boot VFSMOUNT SUPERBLK TYPE DEVNAME DIRNAME c00000000224eb80 c000000002589800 ext3 /dev/sda2 /boot crash> mount /boot/ crash> ---------- The patch provides pathcmp() replacing STREQ to compare two path names. It's created against crash-4.0-25.4 in SLES10_RC3.
