[$] The mismatched mount mess

"Mounting" a filesystem is the act of making it available somewhere in thesystem's directory hierarchy. But a mount operation doesn't just glue adevice full of files into a specific spot in the tree; there is a whole setof parameters controlling how that filesystem is accessed that can bespecified at mount time. The handling of these mount parameters is thelatest obstacle to getting the proposed newmounting API into the mainline; should the new API reproduce what isarguably one of the biggest misfeatures of the current mount()system call?
