Oh man, you tapped a nerve with that one. XD
This is precisely why I settled for doing this little alias years ago (and yes, it's ugly):
showvols is aliased to `mount -l |grep -E " (udf|ext[234]|v?fat|btrfs|ntfs|reiserfs|exfat|fuse\.[a-z]*|hfs|hfsplus)\b" |sed "s/\( type [^ ]*\)\( .*$\)/\1/" |grep -ve " /run/user/[0-9]" -e "on /var/tmp/flatpak"'
The horrid sprawl of `mount` output and /etc/ contents is one reason why I've been eyeing #BSD for the past couple years.
