What about fs_mntops? I have
sysfs /sys sysfs
/dev/hda5 /mnt/tmp0 reiser4
if also options are optional (hmmmm... *options* are *optional*... makes
some sense) then the following trivial patch will fix the error.
BTW, a quick grep doesn't show any usage for that variable in the code,
so is this really enough?
