I've added mntctl support to 'lib/mountpoint.c' today. My tests are looking good and so I'd like to share the patch. While I'm still not really familiar with dovecots memory management, I need someone who is familiar with it to have a look on my lines of code. Especially the usage or p_new, t_strconcat and p_free should be checked. :-)

I'd probably change the allocations a bit to avoid extra syscalls. Something like:

// guess that 256 bytes is enough usually. use larger value if it's not.
char mtab_static[256], *mtab = mtab_static;

count = mntctl(..);
while (count == 0) {
  mtab = t_malloc(size);
  count = mntctl(..);
}
if (count < 0) {
  i_error("mntctl() failed: %m");
  return -1;
}
..etc..

Also change to HAVE_SYS_VMOUNT_H.

To activate the patch you have to add "#define HAVE_VMOUNT_H 1" do 'config.h'. Maybe someone wants to alter configure* to do this automatically?

Just add sys/vmount.h to AC_CHECK_HEADERS() list.
