RE: Determine mount point information

If you find the mountpoint in mtab but not in fstab it means that the
mount operation was not made automatically. Most probably, one of
startup files contain the mount instruction specifically for that
mountpoint (such as 'mount -o rw,bind /foo /home/foo') or such a command
was issued by the user having appropriate permissions directly from
command line (in your sitiation most probably it will be the user
'foo').
You should check startup files (and user's command history, if any) for
the presence of such a command.

I have an RHEL3 box (an Altix 3700) that has a strange mount point.
It's not showing up in /etc/fstab, but it is in mtab. It's a mount
/home/foo that mounts another mounted directory /foo.

When I look at mount -v I get:

/foo on /home/foo type none (rw,bind)

I simply do not know where this mount is coming from. It's not nfs or
automount, I've checked those. Does someone have any other ideas to
look at for this?
