Mount displays the contents of /etc/mtab, not /proc/mounts.  The format 
has nothing to do with fstab, except that both are determined by the 
mount code.

It is possible to mount something without updating mtab (see mount -n), 
like the first mount of / in read-only mode.  So mtab (and thus mount 
itself) might lie to you.
