[Bug 1881208] Re: check_disk should look at /proc/mounts, not mtab

Yeah, thanks for the answers. In that sense it is actually "Fixed" in Xenial and later. The potential impact to SRU Trusty would be too high, and even less it would fit under the ESM support that Trusty is in nowadays. I'll be updating bug states accordingly. ** Changed in: monitoring-plugins (U

I thought /etc/mtab only exists for historical reasons. And checking it shows: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Okt 12 2018 /etc/mtab -> ../proc/self/mounts This is true at least back to Xenial (which I checked). And for compatibility reasons programs often use /etc/mtab but it is actually the same.
