Perhaps the note below (from the linux man page for getmntent(3)) might be 
relevant or useful to someone who wants to implement such a thing in a 
portable way?

"SysV  also  has a getmntent() function but the calling sequence differs, and 
the returned structure is different. Under SysV /etc/mnttab is used.  BSD 4.4 
and  Digital  Unix  have  a  routine getmntinfo(), a wrapper around the 
system call getfsstat()."
