[Bug 1616011] Re: update mount manpage to drop /etc/mtab

[Martin Pitt]

Right, /etc/mtab should have died about a thousand years ago :-)
Retitling bug to adjust the manpage accordingly.

** Summary changed:

- mount does not /etc/mtab
+ update mount manpage to drop /etc/mtab

** Changed in: util-linux (Ubuntu)

Title:
  update mount manpage to drop /etc/mtab

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  mount no longer updates /etc/mtab in 16.04 when performing a mount.
  This is a regression against 14.04.

  I know that /etc/mtab should be a link to /proc/mounts but we have
  reasons to not make this link. mount should behave as described in the
  man-page.
