Subject: Re: [PATCH e2fsprogs] - ignore bind mounts in fsck

It might also be worthwhile to file a documentation bug against the
mount and fstab man pages, since it doesn't currently seem to specify
(at least on my Ubuntu system; maybe it's been fixed in newer upstream
packages) that you can specify the bind option in the fstab file.  

/src	/dest	ext3	bind,default

It's not clear to me that this should be the preferred form.  Why not?

/src	/dest  bind  defaults

or

/src	/dest  none  bind,defaults

instead?  In any case, how bind mounts are supposed to be specified in
fstab is not documented, and it really should be.
