In this rare case it's not. /proc/mounts in fact is only a link to /proc/self/mounts and that is needed because wecan have per-process private namespace in Linux now.
(of course this drives the traditional /etc/mtab completly useless) - 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/
