[arch-dev-public] new mount in testing
Hi guys, With util-linux-2.21 we have switched to a new implementation of mount, based on the libmount library. We have tested this in the release candidates for some weeks, and it seems good to go. However, I intend to keep util-linux in testing longer than normal just in case. Please keep an eye out for oddities, especially if you are using mount in any non-standard ways that we might not have tested. Cheers, Tom

I would like to point out that upstream considers this "experimental" at this point.

Gerardo will not be happy about this delay (he needs the new losetup). What about pushing 2.21-1 with "old mount" to core quickly and then putting 2.21-2 with "new mount" into testing?
