Hello,

We're having issues with schroot and mtab on exodar. Looking a bit at
rpctrace, one can see things like this:

/home/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/home/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/home/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/home/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/home/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/home/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/home/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/home/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/home/schroot/mount/youpi/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/servers

I have indeed made a bunch of firmlinks: /srv is a firmlink to
/home/srv, and /home/srv/chroot/schroot-unpack/youpi/home is a firmlink
to /home, thus forming a loop.  Can mtab properly cope with this?
