Hi, Apologies if this is already implemented in git and I didn't notice. Options like _netdev, comment= etc. are currently just ignored by mount AFAICS. It would however be quite useful if they could be preserved in e.g. utab if possible so that you can use this to label mounts so that you can query for the information later using e.g. mount or findmnt. Is this something which might be possible to add if it's not already possible? It turned out (at least in Debian) that some users were using the "bind" option to track which filesystems were to be e.g. backed up, space usage checked etc. (or not). With the switch to /proc/mounts this information has been lost. While using the bind option to do this is debatable, I was looking for a better and more robust solution to their problem, and being able to attach comments to the mounts seemed like it would fit in with the existing tools if they could be stored.
