 # Older mount output referred to "block device" when mounting RO devices
 # It's gone in newer versions
+#
+# And util-linux v2.30 changed the output again, e.g.
+# for a successful ro mount:
+# prior to v2.30:  mount: <device> is write-protected, mounting read-only
+# v2.30 and later: mount: <mountpoint>: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only.
+#
+# a failed ro mount:
+# prior to v2.30:
+# mount: <device> is write-protected, mounting read-only
+# mount: cannot mount <device> read-only
+# v2.30 and later:
+# mount: <mountpoint>: cannot mount <device> read-only.
+#
+# a failed rw remount:
+# prior to v2.30:  mount: cannot remount <device> read-write, is write-protected
+# v2.30 and later: mount: <mountpoint>: cannot remount <device> read-write, is write-protected.
+#
+# Now use _filter_ro_mount to unify all these differences across old & new
+# util-linux versions. So the filtered format would be:
+#
+# successful ro mount:
+# mount: device write-protected, mounting read-only
+#
+# failed ro mount:
+# mount: device write-protected, mounting read-only
+# mount: cannot mount read-only
