From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 01:33:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mnt: Implicitly add MNT_NODEV on remount when it was implicitly added by mount Now that remount is properly enforcing the rule that you can't remove nodev at least sandstorm.io is breaking when performing a remount. It turns out that there is an easy intuitive solution implicitly add nodev on remount when nodev was implicitly added on mount.
