Very interesting. I wasn't surprised that they match for me, since I
mount it read-only, so as soon as my kernel is up enough to read and
care about /etc/fstab, it will not modify it anymore anyway. It's
interesting to know that even people with read-write partitions see
similar behavior.
As I mentioned in my previous post analyzing the code, the last write time
specifies the last *superblock* write time. Since the kernel does
everything it can not to touch anything if read-only, it has to be mount(8),
when it updates the last mount time (which explains why they always match).
I'd really look at the boot loader now.
