Line 463:

filesystemType = bb_xstrdup(m->mnt_type);

Now, ignoring the fact that the strdup here serves no purpose except to leak 
memory (filesystemType is a local variable just like m->mnt_type, so their 
lifetime rules are identical), this stomps the information that would be used 
to compare whether or not it's the same mount.

Now you could add another test around like 450, something like

	|| (strcmp(filesystemType,"auto") && !strcmp(filesystemType,m->mnt_type))

That might do what you wanted.
