Description of problem: typing "mount" to see the mounted discs should produce (as it always has in the past) a concise list of mounted devices. It probably should default to the old behaviour. In MGA2, it now produces: (also with containing package version) [root@localhost greg]# rpm -qvf /bin/mount util-linux-2.21.1-1.mga2 [root@localhost greg]# mount rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=1984060k,nr_inodes=496015,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) /dev/sdc1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered) tmpfs on /sys/fs/cgroup type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,mode=755) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,release_agent=/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,name=systemd) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuset) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,cpuacct,cpu) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/devices type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,devices) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,freezer) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,net_cls) cgroup on /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio type cgroup (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,blkio) systemd-1 on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=25,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct) systemd-1 on /proc/bus/usb type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=18,pgrp=1,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,relatime) hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime) mqueue on /dev/mqueue type mqueue (rw,relatime) /dev/sdc6 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime) /dev/mapper/pdc_biihegaaip2 on /win8 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096) /dev/mapper/pdc_biihegaaip5 on /video type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,noquota) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,relatime,devgid=43,devmode=664) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,relatime) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw,relatime) nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw,relatime) How reproducible: Type "mount"
(this is since systemd, maybe we can make an alias ?)

Its not systemd as such... its the fact that we now link /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts wich shows all mountpoints used in the system
Yeah this only "worked" in the past due to manual mangling of the /etc/mtab file as tmb stated. It's really not something that is overly sustainable and causes issues when combined with e.g. a read-only filesystem. If you want a consise output then just use "df" rather than "mount". Tools already exist that do what you want, so just use the right tool for the job :)

I understand, and I have done that when I remember, but it's just ... weird to see such a drastic change like that. I figured it was at least worth a bug report, but it is really NBD. Back to looking for real problems! Thanks all.
Definitely worth a bug report - feedback is what makes the distro great even when, sometimes, the hassle is not worth the gain :)
