Thanks for the report, but you reached the GNU coreutils mailing list
while umount is part of util-linux, and the globbing you're referring to
is done by your shell.
Therefore, you're better off asking at the mailing lists of those packages.
As this is not a bug in coreutils, I'm marking it as such, and close this
issue in our bug tracker.
A little hint:
if your shell knows brace expansion "{...}", then you could use that
instead of file globbing with "[...]". The following does this with
'echo' put in front of the command in order to see what would be
executed:
$ echo umount /dev/sda{1,3,2}
umount /dev/sda1 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda2
Have a nice day,
