I confirm that /etc/mtab CANNOT be a symlink to /proc/self/mounts -- it needs to be writable or mount can't write to it when you use: mount -f --no-canonicalize -o remount -a
No, regular mtab is a hell (chasing inconsistencies between mtab and /proc/mounts was no fun) which can be avoided with recent version of mount. One of the good things about systemd is that is it issues a warning if /etc/mtab is not a symlink: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/README http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-01/msg00130.html Please check if making /etc/mtab symlink to /proc/self/mounts does make any difference.
