This is 2.6 specific. If you are looking at 2.4 code, you'll be looking for ... read_sb() I think. The particular code in question can be found here: http://lxr.linux.no/source/fs/proc/root.c on line 35. The actual function "proc_get_sb" can be found in the dame file on line 27. It makes a single call to get_sb_single which lives in fs/super.c line 770. I'm not yet sure about unmounting. -- Jason J.
