[Samba] Very high system load: Samba statfs call for filesystems in /etc/mtab in: fileid_load_mount_entries()

[Rainer Krienke]

Hello,

well this should not be an issue. getmntent() fills in a struct  mntent
which represents the fields in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. This struct also
contains the mount type which is then "bind".

So this shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks
Rainer
