        I'm sure that Conner means the /etc/mnttab, since /etc/mount is
the program that one runs to mount a file system.  If you remove that,
you won't be able to use anything besides your root partition..

- df reads this file to get the list of currently mounted file systems and
- then calls statfs(2) to get the space characteristics for each file system.

	The /etc/mnttab file contains a binary list of all the mounted file
systems, name of the device, and the file system type.
