Question 1:
What do you mean with: "... possible mount points..."?

Question 2:
Am I right when I say: mount w/o any options prints all mounted
devices to stdout?
So one can parse this output and it would be -- in my opinion -- easy
to write parsers for this output for every OS the application is
running on (thanks to os.uname()).

Sorry if I missed something in the original posting, but I can't see
it here yet.
