>From decvax!cwruecmp!ordy@Berkeley Tue Nov 10 00:35:34 1981 4.1 BSD File System Question.

The following question came up, on our VmUnix System. Other V7 systems may also be involved. It is a small point, however we wonder if it is correct.

When mounting a file system, smount in sys3.c copies the mounted on file name to the s_fsmnt char array in the incore super block. If the file system is unmounted before any modifications occur, the super block in not written out, and the mounted on name does not change.

Should the s_fsmnt array be changed, even if the file system is not modified?
