It is sometimes difficult to describe all the conditions leading up to
a problem, so we appreciate your patience.
Having to repeat things a few times
There is quite a simple solution to this problem:
ln -sf ../proc/mounts mtab
Maybe this could be added to postinst or similar. Of course this
only works when procfs is mounted to /proc, but is anyone really not
doing this nowadays?
The other advantage is that mount and df

I can't reproduce this. mount.c:856 blocks all signals, then tries to
mount the fs, then updates mtab, then unblocks signals. I tested and

This won't help if you e.g.
