Is there a reason why stderr is suppressed in most of the mount calls in
the mountfs script? It only seems to cause valid errors to not be
printed to the screen. For instance, I was recently getting [FAIL] on
boot and thought there might be something drastically wrong with my
system. It turned out that I had just forgotten to make a mount point
for an extra partition I had.
Patch below removes the stderr suppression.
