/proc/mounts shouldn't be required

[Anders F Björklund]

/proc/mounts shouldn't be required, as it is only available on Linux.

for now it would be OK to return isMounted=False instead of raising,
but eventually it should probably use the mount(8) output instead...

As we discussed online, I'm a bit uncomfortable with simply returning False if it's not found. I'd like to see what the errors look like, and handle it appropriately. Blindly returning False on isMounted() and keeping everything else as is may present side-effects such as trying to mount an already mounted partition. If /proc/mounts isn't available on some operating systems where Smart is wanted, let's implement correct isMounted() support on them instead.

This is a blocker on FreeBSD and Solaris, for some reason it works OK on Mac OS X...

The error looks like "Error: /proc/mounts not found" getting raised when looking for media.

Example output (truncated) from mount(8) attached. Solaris seems to need special care.

I think this patch should do the trick, apparently there was a python library command for it...

Added, with tests, to trunk in r903.
