Good idea. Implemented:
$ findmnt --fstab -o TARGET,FREQ,PASSNO
TARGET FREQ PASSNO
/ 1 1
/boot 1 2
/boot/efi 0 0
/home 1 2
/home/kzak 1 2
swap 0 0
/mnt/backup 0 0
/mnt/petra 0 0
/mnt/kzak 0 0

Hmm.. works for me (2.22.2 as well as mount(8) from git tree).
# mount /dev/sdb /mnt/test
# cat /run/mount/utab
# mount -o remount,_netdev /mnt/test
# cat /run/mount/utab
SRC=/dev/sdb TARGET=/mnt/test OPTS=_netdev
It would be nice to have reproducible example or/and debug output from
the library:
LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=0xffff mount -o remount,_netdev ....

BTW, is it really so attractive to use busybox in initramfs? IMHO the
best way is to consolidate all possible utils and use the same code
everywhere. (It does not mean that busybox is bad thing, but mix
utils and environments is often problematic...)

Hmm... this is really old release. Update ;-)

Mailing list is OK.
