/proc/mounts versus /etc/mtab

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

 



Just ran into one "interesting" bit of information...

It's impossible to tell from /proc/mounts if a specific mount point
corresponds to the root of that particular filesystem.  Consider the
following /etc/mtab:

/dev/md6 /export ext3 rw 0 0
/export/home/hpa /home/hpa none rw,bind 0 0
/export/home/suzi /home/suzi none rw,bind 0 0

... and the corresponding /proc/mounts ...

/dev/md6 /export ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/md6 /home/hpa ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/md6 /home/suzi ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0

/proc/mounts gives absolutely no hint that /home/hpa and /home/suzi
don't correspond to the root of the filesystem /dev/md6.
