I recently rebooted after an upgrade that generated
	"Jul 28 17:13 initrd.img-4.19.0-5-686-pae"
and when I was finally U&R I discovered that a mount didn't 
happen. (I am on Debian 10 Bullseye and my last kernel 
resulted in "Jul 18 17:23 vmlinuz-4.19.0-5-686-pae".)

I have mount points /wa1-/wa4 and I have been using them 
literally for years with no problem.

So anyway, I typed in "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /wa1" and it 
seemed to finish successfully, but "ls /wa1" indicated that 
in fact it had not. Nothing mounted on wa1! Many other tests 
told me the same thing. "umount /wa1" said "not mounted"!

After trying many things I discovered that 1) I can mount 
/dev/sdb2 on any mount point except /wa1 and 2) I can't 
mount any /dev/sdxx on /wa1!! So I mounted sdb2 on /wa11,
"rmdir /wa1"and "ln -s /wa11 /wa1" and everything seems to 
work OK.

It seems that something in the mount process does not like 
"wa1" for a mount point. Anybody have similar recent problems?
