Description

The mount and update of mtab is apparently successful, but this error message is printed anyway. Googling for the error indicates that various other people have seen the same thing. There are some bugzilla threads about changing the return codes from addmntent, too, so this might be something that distros changed and we need to update (just a wild guess there).

Reported on Debian wheezy, ceph 0.87: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ceph.user/15936
