This switch did not only disappear also the former uses file format (DOS) was set to Unix underhand . The result is that a lot of scripts did not work anymore because they produce  a bunch of lines " bash: $'\r': command not found" instead of the expected output.  I'm not able to filter all the scripts and files to remove the DOS line separator so I have to set the file format correctly.

I've not used that script before, but from that text it seems that the
script can only migrate user mounts, not system mounts.  I get the
impression that this problem is resulting from system mounts going binary.
