Public bug reported: Note that mount is very strict about non-root users and all paths specified on command line are verified before fstab is parsed or a helper program is executed. It's strogly recommended to use a valid mountpoint to specify filesystem, other‐ wise mount may fail. For example it's bad idea to use NFS or CIFS source on command line.
