While it works interactively, that leaves out using it when most of the file

Why do you want something like this?

Why wouldn't I?


The option --no-canonicalize has very special purpose (e.g. when
 mount.<type> helper calls mount(8)).
The default canonicalization has a very special purpose to the kernel/dm, but it
is not necessarily what a user wants to see when they type 'mount'.

Is there a reason NOT to give the option to user to display it as they wish,
or is there some reason to force the user into using the kernel/lvm internal
format?
