It is quite common to put /var/lib/docker itself on a separate partition
and that should be monitored as well.

While the statfs(2) approach is reliable for normally mounted filesystems, the
flags returned can be inconsistent when filesystem has been remounted read-only
after encountering an error. The returned flags do accurately represent the
internal state of the filesystem, but they do not reflect whether the VFS layer
will accept writes. Instead, it makes sense to parse the current VFS mount
state from the options field in /proc/mounts since it takes precedence.

Fixed spelling mistakes.
Update transport_generic.go
Changed to a mutex approach instead of channels and added a timeout before declaring a mount stuck.
Removed unnecessary lock channel and clarified some var names.
Fixed style nits.

* Add overlay to defIgnoredFSTypes
To avoid statfs() errors if node_exporter is running as non privileged user.
* Updated defIngoredFSTypes values in sorted order
The node exporter runs unprivileged, so it cannot statfs any filesystems
under this directory causing log spam. In addition there tends to be
high churn in the filesystems here (as it's basically application
monitoring) which can cause high cardinaltiy and in one case caused
Prometheus's index symbol table to get very large.
Accordingly this should be ignored to reduce log spam and avoid
performance issues. The filesystems themselves can in principle be
monitored via container oriented exporters, and the underlying
filesystems will still be monitored.
Instead of maintaining a counter metric for device errors in memory,
this change exports a gauge and uses const metrics to avoid leaking
metrics for unmounted filesystems.
Named return variables should only be used to describe the returned type
further, e.g. `err error` doesn't add any new information and is just
stutter.
node_exporter currently triggers autofs to mount the underlying
filesystem on every scrape. This is undesirable. Better ignore autofs.
The underlying filesystem that autofs mounts will be monitored though,
when the (real) filesystem is mounted.
Current behaviour throws away all stats on any Statfs error. In practice
this is not useful. This turns such errors into debug log messages -
though silently ignoring them seems even more valid to me.
Remove all hardcoded references to `/proc`. For all collectors that do
not use `github.com/prometheus/procfs` yet, provide a wrapper to
generate the full paths.
Reformulate help strings, errors and comments to remove absolute
references to `/proc`.
This is a breaking change: the `-collector.ipvs.procfs` flag is removed
in favor of the general flag. Since it only affected that collector it
was only useful for development, so this should not cause many issues.
