Ah, thanks.
Red Hat have split `mount' and `util-linux' into separate RPMs. I
don't know whether simply upgrading the `mount' RPM is sufficient,
but it presumably doesn't hurt to upgrade util-linux as well.
The easiest way to get appropriate versions of these tools is from
RH's rawhide distribution at
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
RH have made some local changes to these tools, so an RPM upgrade
is definitely the path of least resistance.
I assume the versions in 7.2 will work as well. I've mentioned this
on the website.
