that's exactly why: your mounts are in text mode. you should try to 
mount the filesystem in binmode if you want total control over 0a line 
ending or 0d0a line ending. text mode always mingles with line 
separators, whereas binmode leave everything as is. text editors like 
emacs and vim are capable of distinguishing line ending modes and output 
files of either line separator format.
