In particular, it may well fail if the kernel was compiled with devfs

but devfs is not mounted.

+It is possible that files
|
|
+.IR /etc/mtab
|
|
+and
|
|
+.IR /proc/mounts
|
|
+don't match. The first file is based only on the mount command options, but the
|
|
+content of the second file also depends on the kernel and others settings (e.g.
|
|
+remote NFS server. In particular case the mount command may reports unreliable
|
|
+information about a NFS mount point and the /proc/mounts file usually contains
|
|
+more reliable information.)

+Checking files on NFS filesystem referenced by file descriptors (i.e. the
|
|
+.BR fcntl
|
|
+and
|
|
+.BR ioctl
|
|
+families of functions) may lead to inconsistent result due to the lack of
|
|
+consistency check in kernel even if noac is used.
