This sure looks like it broke userland, in which case we need to revert the change in behaviour. How about the following (untested) change? Ben. --- Subject: nfs: Show original device name verbatim in /proc/*/mount{s,info} Since commit c7f404b ('vfs: new superblock methods to override /proc/*/mount{s,info}'), nfs_path() is used to generate the mounted device name reported back to userland. nfs_path() always generates a trailing slash when the given dentry is the root of an NFS mount, but userland may expect the original device name to be returned verbatim (as it used to be). Make this canonicalisation optional and change the callers accordingly.
