Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
attach a filesystem
What's wrong:
attach gave me an error, but did not give much information about
what failed or why. The error message "attach: you are not
allowed to attach a filesystem here" is not very helpful.
What should have happened:
It should at least say what I was trying to attach that failed,
and possibly where it was trying to attach. Perhaps this is
more a feature request than a bug report, but that's
questionable.
On another note, whenever "attach" prints out the filsys name,
it would be nice if it were delimited by single or double
quotes. This is more a feature request than a bug report.
Reproduce by:
% attach nandrew
attach: /afs/athena/astaff/project/andrew/nexport linked to
/mit/andrew for filesystem nandrew
% attach andrew
attach: You are not allowed to attach a filesystem here
(Simple) Fix:
Apply the following patch to get it to print out the filsys
name. To get it to print out the mount point would take a bit
more re-arranging of the source. If I get the chance, I may
send that in later.
