There is no use in altering the /etc/mtab file. When Linux mounts a
device, it writes the relevant information to /etc/mtab. So cat /etc/mtab
will show whats mounted currently. You can edit this file, but this won't
change anything. Only cat /etc/mtab won't show the current situation any
more. So editing this file is a Bad Thing(TM) as it doesn't do any good.
