Ok ...  FreeBSD got "mtab" and "mounts" (which have the same
content) in linprocfs in 2001, so I thought that DFly BSD
had it, too.  Anyway, shouldn't be difficult to port over.

If you need that file to make a linux application happy,
it is sufficient to put some static content in compat/linux/
etc/mtab.  It looks like this:

/dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 0 0
devfs /dev devfs rw 0 0
/dev/ad0s1d /var ufs rw,nosuid 0 0
/dev/ad0s1e /usr ufs rw 0 0
/dev/ad0s1f /usr/tmp ufs rw 0 0
/dev/md0 /tmp ufs rw,nosuid 0 0
venus:/home /home nfs rw,nosuid 0 0
venus:/trash /trash nfs rw,nosuid 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0

Should be trivial to generate with a short awk script.

Best regards
