Package: mount
Version: 2.33.1-0.1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/umount
I can TAB expand
# mount /some/symlink
but then when it is time to umount it, it won't let me TAB expand the
same path! It only knows about real paths.
Well it is true, it is great for umount only to expand the few paths for
mountpoints, instead of every file on the system.
But it should somehow remember what we called it when we mounted it.
And I suppose mount, instead of expanding every filename on the system,
should somehow magically instead only know real mount paths and symlink
mount paths...

I understood the request to mean:
When I mount something as /x/y/z, it should show up as /x/y/z in
/etc/mtab (=/proc/self/mounts).
Personally I can see why this could be good but also why this is
going to be bad in general. But util-linux also can't do anything
about this.
Closing as nobody will do anything about it, then.
Thanks,
Chris
