    I agree with your approach Olaf. Better _fix_ first mount to remove
    totally mtab support, and after put in /proc/self/mount the additional
    info that previously only existed in /etc/mtab. Or i'm afraid that
    it will never be removed...

    Heck, i should learn myself some kernel programming and add the
    new options to /proc/self/mounts. I'm really tired of having an
    /etc/mtab file in my system...

    bye
