So it would probably be better to either remove the attempt entirely
and print a suitable error, or fully support it.
It turns out the cryptic 'mount failed: No such file or directory'
error is because /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/self/mounts instead
of a regular file. Changing mtab to a regular file results in the much
more user friendly:
mount: can't find /run in /etc/fstab
mount: can't find /proc in /etc/fstab
mount: can't find /sys in /etc/fstab
Since you don't want to support auto-mounting the virtual filesystems,
what about changing mtab to be a regular file in Section 6.6, so a
clearer error is produced? And then also remove the hardcoded mount
options in the boot script:
I don't understand the desire to eliminate two lines in fstab that have
probably been present since /proc and /sys were introduced.
I don't like the idea of some things auto-magically mounted at boot time.
As far as the error message goes, perhaps you should file a bug with
util-linux.
