I guess someone familiar with OS architecture could answer this -- there
must be a reason for it, every Unix-like OS does it this way. So either
it's because the additional "meta data" (number of mounts, last mount time)
or something else. And then this mechanism is "backported" to FAT because
of consistency (there's no last mount time etc in FAT).
