/proc/mounts rw or ro ?

Hi there!

Yesterday I had a (vfat) filesystem mounted. This filesystem was damaged.
When the kernel realized the damage, it logged "remounting the file system
read-only". And it really remounted it read-only, since "cat >file" resulted
a Read-only file system message. But /proc/mounts still reported it as a
read/write file system instead of read-only. I don't think it's correct.

(kernel 2.1.125ac2)

bye
