+(1) mount ID:  unique identifier of the mount (may be reused after umount)
+(2) parent ID:  ID of parent (or of self for the top of the mount tree)
+(3) major:minor:  value of st_dev for files on filesystem
+(4) root:  root of the mount within the filesystem
+(5) mount point:  mount point relative to the process's root
+(6) mount options:  per mount options
+(7) optional fields:  zero or more fields of the form "tag[:value]"
+(8) separator:  marks the end of the optional fields
+(9) filesystem type:  name of filesystem of the form "type[.subtype]"
+(10) mount source:  filesystem specific information or "none"
+(11) super options:  per super block options
+
+Parsers should ignore all unrecognised optional fields.  Currently the
+possible optional fields are:
+
+shared:X  mount is shared in peer group X
+master:X  mount is slave to peer group X
+propagate_from:X  mount is slave and receives propagation from peer group X (*)
+unbindable  mount is unbindable
+
+(*) X is the closest dominant peer group under the process's root.  If
+X is the immediate master of the mount, or if there's no dominant peer
+group under the same root, then only the "master:X" field is present
+and not the "propagate_from:X" field.
+
+For more information on mount propagation see:
