Before filing a bug report, I wanted to make sure what I saw was correct. |
48 |
|
49 |
The webpage is listed here [1]. After checking the mount (8) man page, I |
50 |
have seen the similar observation as you. I would have thought that the |
51 |
command would have given the output of completion but it returned this |
52 |
command was not found. I fortunately reinstalled Gentoo Linux in my |
53 |
Desktop and ran into this few weeks ago. |
54 |
|
55 |
I just wanted to make sure it's not only on my end as I didn't see any |
56 |
reports of it in the bug tracker. |
57 |
|
58 |
Oh, and your PS, I'm sorry. I was using the Gmail's native browser mail. :) |
