Description

mount.ceph print the following error every time I mount Ceph file system:

mount: error writing /etc/mtab: Invalid argumentnothing was mounted

Mount is successful, despite rather misleading error.

Maybe problem is that on modern systems '/etc/mtab' is merely a symlink to '/proc/mounts'?
