I can't show you exact output of ls -la / before other FS mount because of
headlessness (nor serial console) of machine in question. However, there was
one file system which I could unmount without dropping to single user, and I
*did* see underlying directory mode of 0750.

What should I file? Test case? It's rather simple (attached).
