+
+I heard this is due to new util-linux. My initrd was from 3rd Jan, but
+util-linux installed on 5th Jan. I've regenerated my initrd so will
+reboot sometime today to see if it now breaks with the new version of mount.
+
+We maybe need to patch mount? I don't think it's really the kernel
+that's at fault here.
