            Bug ID: 11601
           Summary: mountpoint applet does not work on files, only
                    directories
           Product: Busybox
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: oliver at schinagl.nl
                CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
  Target Milestone: ---

Bind mounting a file is a legal possibility with mount since quite a few years.
With the rise of docker, bind mounting files is not very uncommon anymore and
many docker containers use busybox as their toolset (via alpine).

mountpoint from util-linux quite happily checks if a file is a mountpoint, but
the busybox variant sadly complaints that the path is not a directory.
