fstab and root filesystem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,

I have been playing with the initramfs, and I noticed that the root
filesystem is mounted in read-write mode in early init. Since, by the time
/etc/fstab is available, the filesystem on which it resides (presumably,
the root filesystem) is already mounted, and mounting it is anyway early
init's task, not real init's (because the real init cannot be found without
the initramfs), there seems to be no point in keeping it listed. I haven't
found anything about this, but commenting out the pertinent line hasn't
broken anything. Is it fine, or are there any reasons for it to be listed
in fstab?

Regards,
Kalrish
