man mount

The  programs mount and umount maintain a list of currently mounted file 
systems in the file /etc/mtab.  If no arguments are given to mount, this 
list is printed.  When the proc filesystem is mounted (say at /proc), the  
files /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts have very similar contents.  The former 
has somewhat more information, such as the mount options used, but is not 
necessarily up-to-date (cf. the -n option below). It is possible to replace 
/etc/mtab by a symbolic link to /proc/mounts, but some information is lost 
that way, and in particular working with the loop device will be less 
convenient.
