Description of problem:

Upstream git commit 5e2b364ebd6808c43f46f7853d2fe6de4edbada1.

commit 5e2b364ebd6808c43f46f7853d2fe6de4edbada1

    Add a comment explaining the oft-confused -t nox,y,z mount syntax.
    
    The 'no' applies to all listed filesystem types, not just the first. Since
    this comes up in bugzilla once every month or two, explicitly comment it.
