Package: mount
Version: 2.13.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

It would be great if mount could provide an option to use a different
fstab than the one located at /etc/fstab.

This could be implemented with -O, which would make the resulting
command-line look like:
  # mount -a -O fstab=/etc/vz/conf/200.fstab

Another possibility would be to use the FSTAB_FILE environment variable,
which is already used by fsck when called with the -A flag.

I would be happy to use this feature within the scripts mounting
filesystems for OpenVZ guests, but I think it would be helpful for other
chroot or lightweight virtualization environments.

Cheers,
