[vbox-dev] [PATCH 2nd resend] VBoxServiceAutoMount: Change Linux mount code to use

[Knut St. Osmundsen]

Hi Sérgio,

the patch undoes the mount tagging I added in 6.0 to distinguish between
user mounted and automatically mounted shares.  Further, it removes
vbsfmount_complete code we need for updating mtab on some really old
additions we still care a little bit about.  I'm not entirely sure if
removing the retry code around line 486 is a bad thing, but I've just
left it there as I assume Andy (or someone) had a good reason for it
once upon a time.

Finally, does the libc or kernel mount() implementation somehow invoke
the /sbin/mount.vboxsf helper tool?  Please point me to the code causing
this, because our vboxsf sources does not parse any parameter strings,
it is binary struct only.

Kind regards, bird.
