Subject: Another question on bind mounts without mtab

I've had another question come up about bind mounts and the lack of
mtab and I'm not sure how to answer it because it does seem a more
important use case that has been lost than those previously discussed.
If /dev/sda1 is mounted in /, and you bind mount /home/foo to /mnt,
then there is no way to tell from the output of mount that it is in
fact, the /home/foo directory of /dev/sda1 that is in /mnt. It looks
like you just bind mounted the whole drive there, and the subdirectory
path is lost.
