Summary: mount completion options do not allow _filedir as the source 
Distribution: Debian
Originally reported in: None
Milestone: 1.3
Status: None
Original bug number: 


Initial Comment:
I'm trying to use the mount command with the -o loop option, which can accept a regular file (such as an ISO or other disk image) as its source.  However, tab completion does not work as expected, since it essentially only allows devices in fstab, or NFS/CIFS shares.  I've fixed it well enough for me, here's the output of "diff -u mount.orig mount"

         else

         fi

I have no idea if that's the appropriate way to search the options list for "loop", but that works for me.  There's probably a better way to do it.  The file attached is my edited file.
