systemd does not reset /etc/mtab on boot, and won't update /etc/mtab with all previous mounts when / becomes writable, and will mount a few selected mount points with raw syscalls, so that they /bin/mount nevers sees them, so that it cannot update mtab accordingly. So if your /etc/mtab is not a symlink you'll most likely see mounts from a previous boot in it, and will miss a couple of mount points actually mounted.
