Ok, just for laughs, I rebooted into single user and cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / ext3 rw 0 0 none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 none /selinux selinuxfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 /sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 then I mounted /boot and /home. then cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / ext3 rw 0 0 none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 none /selinux selinuxfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 /sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 /dev/hda5 /home ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0 Then I cat /etc/mtab /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 /dev/hda5 /home ext3 rw 0 0 none /proc proc rw 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 /dev/hda5 /home ext3 rw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0 Ok, so it is wrong. Am going to try the ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab and see what happens.
