Like / (root)!

At the risk of getting flammed, and having people yell acronyms
like FHS and SE-Linux at me, I will suggest:
/mtab
Actually, I don't like mtab, and never have. For instance it gets badly
confused if you mount a partition within a chroot...
(not to mention the other proplem of making /etc a readonly NFS
share).
