The -n is to avoid mounts in the namespace <id> to "pollute" mtab of host!
(mount is not using the mtab of vserver matching the context-id, but the one
of host as vnamespace only changes the namespace and not the root '/')

From the host you will only see mounts that are associated to main namespace,
but not those associated only with namespaces of virtual servers.

You will need to switch to each an every active namespace an list mounts from
there (vnamespace -e <id> cat /proc/mounts) to get the complete list.
