Could you try to use LABEL= in /etc/fstab (not /etc/fstab), and see if that way it gets mounted, and only once? The udev developers recommend using either UUID or LABEL; and LABEL it's easier (and prettier) to set. > The last obstacle is /etc/mtab.

In that case it is always up to date. I think the link is to /proc/self/mounts; /proc/mounts it's a link to it, actually. > Of course, YMMV.
