When mount(8) is invoked with the `-v' flag, display the filesystem
ID for each file system in addition to the normal information. In umount(8), accept filesystem IDs as well as the usual device and path names. This makes it possible to unambiguously specify which file system is to be unmounted even when two or more file systems share the same device and mountpoint names (e.g. NFS mounts from the same export into different chroots).
