Looks to me that /etc/mtab contains the most complete information.
The only thing it doesn't show is swap and the values of fs_freq and
fs_passno (those last two numbers in the fstab) and that can be figured out
by rule vs actual. root getting 1 1 the rest getting 1 2 and the thigns
like sysfs and proc by rule are 0 0.
Are there things like compound variables in the bash shell? Kinda like stem
variables in rexx ? Something that can be declared and indexed through so
that var.1 = /dev/dasda var.2 = {mountpoint} var.3 = fs type and so on?
If that's possible in the bash shell then the administrivia of creating the
script is pretty simple. I just have never seen compound variables in a
bash shell script, so I'm not sure and someone walked off with my book.

There are two files which may be of help, and have similar syntax
to /etc/fstab. The two files are /etc/mtab (maintained by the
'mount' command program) and /proc/mounts (kernel space).
Look at them, then decide if you want to do it manually once
or automate for repeat performance.
