It is not possible to set the files ystem in /proc/mounts as it is possible with /etc/mtab. This breaks the usage of mount helper tools like mount.crypt from pam_mount that allows to mount and umount encrypted partitions using mount. To get umount.crypt called when umount of an encrypted file system is run, crypt needs to be written in the file system column in /etc/mtab. Regards Till
