I have a CentOS 5.5 container setup to allow a regular user to mount and umount a dvd that has a ext2 fs. I created the mount point, added fstab entry, and setup container device file. Mounting is no problem. I can read data ok. Umounting does not work for regular user.

[rray]$ umount /dev/dvd
umount: only root can unmount /dev/dvd from /mnt/dvd

Root can umount just fine. Any suggestions?

Do you have a user flag set in fstab for the entry?

Yes

/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd auto noauto,user,ro 0 0

Can not figure out why mount works and umount does not.
The same regular user can mount and umount on hn which is also CentOS 5.5

Please file a kernel bug to http://bugzilla.openvz.org/, need to investigate that.

Before I start a bug report I am trying to eliminate the most common cause of my problems, my ignorance

On the hn mtab shows
/dev/scd0 /mnt/dvd ext2 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=rray 0 0
and mount -l shows
/dev/scd0 on /mnt/dvd type ext2 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=rray) [1100603145949]

On the ve mtab shows
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd ext2 ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
and mount -l shows
/dev/dvd on /mnt/dvd type ext2 (ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec) [1100603145949]

The problem seems obvious
/dev/dvd is a simlink to /dev/scd0
I tried changing ve to /dev/scd0 and got the same results

The fstab entry is
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd auto noauto,user,ro 0 0
on hn and ve

Any more suggestions or does this sound like a bug
