Yes. If I execute mount command without redirecting stderror, I got DMA
blurbs on screen. I think under this condition, FS was mounted. Funny
thing was my interactive session returned $? being 0.
"mount" seems (no proof but I just feel it) to behave differently on
error handling (how hard ut tries to mount in case of trouble) depending
on its I/O mode.

Yep. This angle shall be the root cause fix. Attacking this issue
directly shall be the AR for the post Sarge :)

Yes. I did experience this with snapshot of 20040615 but 20040616 seems
to be OK as I state in my Bug#254764.

Yes, I thought so too on 20040615 image.
