Question about mount

Hi all!

In previous busybox releases I could do the following:

mount -n -o remount,rw /

The responsible line for this in /etc/fstab looks like this:

/dev/hda3    /    ext2    defaults   0   0

Which should be ok for this.
With busybox 1.1.1 I get the following error message when trying to
do this kind of alternating mount:

tmpfs: No value for mount option 'pfs'
mount: Mounting tmpfs on /tmp faild: Invalid argument

The really strange thing in this error message is, that I never try to
mount anything into /tmp, /tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp and /var/tmp is
the mountpoint for tmpfs.

If I use the following command, everything works fine:

mount -n -o remount,rw /dev/hda3 /

Unfortunately that command is not an option for me, because in most
cases I don't know the root device by its name, because sometimes it's
sda1, hda2, hdb1, ... Depending on the device, where my thinclient
software is being installed.

I tried to grep for substrings of this error message in the current
busybox source but didn't find anything appropriate.

Thanks in Advance,
