Do you know how many 'a lot of mounts' is?
I believe there was a problem with /proc/mounts in 2.2 kernels (limited
to one page) - is there still a limit in 2.4 or 2.6 kernels?
I currently symlink /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab on diskless machines to
get round the issue that /etc/mtab can not trusted to be correct. I only
have a maximum of a few 10's of mounts at any one time.
