From 62176420274db5b5127cd7a0083a9aeb461756ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Weißschuh Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2023 19:28:48 +0200 Subject: fs: avoid empty option when generating legacy mount string MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit As each option string fragment is always prepended with a comma it would happen that the whole string always starts with a comma. This could be interpreted by filesystem drivers as an empty option and may produce errors. For example the NTFS driver from ntfs.ko behaves like this and fails when mounted via the new API.
