Symlink it to /proc/mounts, of course. :)
/etc/mtab has always been evil, and not just because it's in the wrong
directory. It's about equivalent to the "route" or "ipchains" commands
keeping track of what _they_ thought the kernel settings were, and then if
you tried to list the routes or firewall rules, they would just cat the
file. Yuck.
Have fun,
Avery
