Subject: autofs: add ignore mount option
Add an autofs file system mount option that can be used to provide a
generic indicator to applications that the mount entry should be ignored
when displaying mount information.
In other OSes that provide autofs and that provide a mount list to user
space based on the kernel mount list a no-op mount option ("ignore" is the
one use on the most common OS) is allowed so that autofs file system users
can optionally use it.
The idea is that it be used by user space programs to exclude autofs
mounts from consideration when reading the mounts list.
Prior to the change to link /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts all I needed to
do to achieve this was to use mount(2) and not update the mtab but now
that no longer works.
I know the symlinking happened a long time ago and I considered doing this
then but, at the time I couldn't remember the commonly used option name
and thought persuading the various utility maintainers would be too hard.
But now I have a RHEL request to do this for compatibility for a widely
used product so I want to go ahead with it and try and enlist the help of
some utility package maintainers.
Clearly, without the option nothing can be done so it's at least a start.
