I get a curious doubling of the mount point names:

Yes I pointed that out above - what I want to know is why the doubling of the names for mnt_mntpoint. It must be used for something, I suppose. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
