Well, rebooting was ultimately the answer, although for unrelated
reasons, being able to boot and then to communicate was a complicated
process that took a couple hours to straighten out. But all's well
now. Thanks.
Someone suggestdd doing:
# cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
which I presume is wrong because it involves modifying mtab, which I
infer from your comment should not be done.
