    ext2: show all mount options · 93d44cb2
    Miklos Szeredi authored
    Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that
    unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there.  So we want to get rid of it, and
    use /proc/mounts instead.
    
    But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options.  Which
    means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the
    options.
    
    It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and
    show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems.  But this is not
    easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and
    not tough the rest.  This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so
    /etc/mtab will be broken in this case.
    
    This series fixes up ->show_options() in ext[234].
