Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686
Version: 2.6.30-6
Severity: normal
To reproduce mount a (slow) flash card on /mnt
# mount /dev/sde1 /mnt
Copy larger amount of data
# cd /mnt ; tar zxvpf /some_directory/some_archive.tar.gz
Unmount
# cd ; umount /mnt
Now data is being written to the card for some minute(s).
$ df -h
shows same size and occupied space for / and /mnt althouhg the card is
much smaller.

This removes the filesystem mount, writes the data and then writes
/etc/mtab.

You found a race in the mtab handling. Replace /etc/mtab with a link to
/proc/mounts. No bug.
