   As Henrik (and maybe others) have pointed out, the "fresh install" code   
   should make it a link.   
      
   But when you say "not a folder" (and I assume you mean "not a directory"),   
   that isn't the issue.  It might be a symlink to /proc/mounts.   
      
   Were your 15.0 and current systems upgraded from 14.2 or fresh installs?
