Problem scenario
When you open a terminal or log into a Linux server, you see a message like this:
"mount: /foobar: must be superuser to use mount."
You suspect some bash script is running every time you log in. What should you do?
Possible solution #1
If you are running a Red Hat server, go to /etc/profile.d/. Sort the files by time modified like this:
ls -lh --sort=time
Look for a script that is trying to mount foobar.
Possible solution #2 (more of a tip to lead to a solution):
Run this command to find the directory that is attempted to be mounted:
sudo find / -name foobar
Is the directory corrupt?
Possible solution #3 (more of a tip to lead to a solution):
df -h | grep foobar
Possible solution #4 (more of a tip to lead to a solution):
cd /
sudo grep -R foobar
