I was surprised that running mount/losetup --all --verbose results in usage(). As -a is the option to list all used loop devices, one might think that -v adds some more info to the output. Neither --help nor the man pages nor the info page tells that -a doesn't accept other options: mount/lomount.c (line 1133): } else if (all) { if (argc > 2) usage(stderr); Should we work on this? If it's not possible to output more information with -v, then it would maybe make sense to ignore it, right?
