Hi Marcel,

I've searched the mailinglists for the mtab issue, and found out, that
many linux backup-programms need a mtab to be able to show directorys.

Most people did a symlink to fstab, or a copy of fstab without the
procfs/linprocfs entrys to solve this.

What if we do something like

mount -p | grep -v "^\w\+fs" > /compat/linux/etc/mtab

We could this do on every startup.

Martin
