Hm, well, it's true that they would not show up in mtab... but to me
it's logical that "default mount options" set via tunefs *should* show
up as options if they are not set to fs defaults.  And using
/proc/mounts has the advantage that they *can* show up.

I guess I'm not sure of the pros or cons of either approach.  :)
