probing is also known to cause trouble in at least one case (see
bug #5889.)
Who: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: mount/umount uevents
+When: February 2007
+Why: These events are not correct, and do not properly let userspace know
+ when a file system has been mounted or unmounted. Userspace should
+ poll the /proc/mounts file instead to detect this properly.
