Grepping by device doesn't work for mount-by-label at least, and
requires a lot of escaping for networked mounts; so we thought grepping
for the mountpoint was exactly the approach we needed to take.
(Also, the RA will try and traverse the mounts _below_ within stop, if
any, so we need to know where it is in the directory hierarchy. Of
course, this is only an optimisation, as all mounts should be stopped by
then anyway.)
I've got to admit I've never had someone use a symlink as a mountpoint.
;-) Maybe the right answer would be for the RA to dereference the
symlink then?
