/proc/mounts is a bad location, I think; for one thing, the number of actual mount at least used to be :) fairly limited. Also, /proc/mounts is impossible to parse cleanly -- if you have mount points with spaces or \n or some such you can really wreck havoc (we need a standard escaping algorithm for /proc, or insert null terminators.)
