Writing to /etc/mtab is no longer allowed.  This means that
nilfs-tools mount.nilfs2 needs updating to use libmount, like all
of the other mount helpers have already done.  This is not a bug in
initscripts, hence I'm reassigning to nilfs-tools.  If this causes
dataloss, please upgrade the severity to "serious".  If this bug has
not been reported to the nilfs-tools upstream, it should also be done.


Regards,
Roger
