Hiya,

check_disk -l or -L

is meant to check only the local file systems, so it excludes
the NFS mounted ones.

But to do so, it checks whether the "mount device" contains a
":" instead of checking the filesystem type.

For instance, that means that it won't check filesystems on
local devices that have ":" in their path. Example:
/dev/mapper/vol-snaphost-2008-04-30-08:00:00

tag 479045 + wontfix
thanks

Hi Stephane,

as it seems not so clear, what "local filesystems" means in this case, it's
not so easy to decide how to fix that. Even /dev/mapper can contain (i)scsi
and many other technologies, so it can't defined as "local" per se.
Upstream seems also to have problems deciding what to do since more than a
year.
So I'm tagging the bug "wontfix" but keeping the upstream bug open, so if
there is any process, we will benefit from it.

With kind regards, Jan.
