Well, actually these :-) :

$ man 8 mount
...
       It is possible that files /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts don’t  match.  The
       first  file is based only on the mount command options, but the content
       of the second file also depends on the kernel and others settings (e.g.
       remote  NFS  server.  In  particular case the mount command may reports
       unreliable information about a NFS mount  point  and  the  /proc/mounts
       file usually contains more reliable information.)

# cat /etc/mtab
# cat /proc/mounts
