Where is the problem?
/bin/athena/fs, on at least the following Athena platforms:
Sun 8.0J and 8.1.9, SGI 8.1.9, and DEC 7.7P. In other words,
fs likely has this bug in every version.
What is wrong?
partly-cloudy% fs lsm s/t/mountpoint
's/t/mountpoint' is a mount point for volume '#user.dkk'
partly-cloudy% fs rmm s/t/mountpoint
fs:'s/t/mountpoint': Not a directory
partly-cloudy% ls -l s/t
lrwxr-xr-x 1 dkk mit 1 Aug 17 22:08 s/t -> u
partly-cloudy% fs rmm s/u/mountpoint
Contrary to what `fs` reports, s/t/mountpoint *is* a directory.
What should have happened?
Either `fs` should have removed the mountpoint, like a good little
program, or it should have admitted its lameness and reported:
fs:'s/t: Not a directory
which would have at least been true.
Documentation references:
`fs help rmm`
`man fs`
