Is there not some way that information in /etc/mtab can be incorporated
into /proc/mounts? I just presented an easy patch because it seemed silly
to me to have the /etc/mtab information when the kernel already had that
information. Please feel free to improve my patch! This was my first
attempt at kernel hacking and I'm sure that people who know what they are
doing can do (much) better!
