Summary: check_disk wrongly treats devices as being NFS shares

Initial Comment:
The following Bugreport we got against our debian package:

Hiya,

check_disk -l or -L

is meant to check only the local file systems, so it excludes
the NFS mounted ones.

But to do so, it checks whether the "mount device" contains a
":" instead of checking the filesystem type.

For instance, that means that it won't check filesystems on
local devices that have ":" in their path. Example:
/dev/mapper/vol-snaphost-2008-04-30-08:00:00

You can track the bugreport via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=479045

Thanks and kind regards, Jan.

This is actually a gnulib problem.

from gl/mountlist.c:
/* A file system is `remote' if its Fs_name contains a `:'
   or if (it is of type (smbfs or cifs) and its Fs_name starts with `//').
 */

Thus gnu df -l should have the same problem also. 
But checking the filesystem type would OTOH require knowing all the remote
filesystem types.
This might be leading to more such problems than the current solution.

I'm totally fine with syncing the gnulib code if someone can get a
solution committed there.
