Hi,
A user continues to mumble about behavior of "# mount /dev" in this list [1].
He said, he did accidentally type
# mount /dev
and "ls /dev" shows only initctl under /dev.
"man mount" said,
If only directory or device is given, for example:
mount /dir
then mount looks for a mountpoint and if not found then for a
device in the /etc/fstab file.
so I guess this is an undocumented behavior.
Naohiro Aota explains that this is expected tmpfs' behavior in kernel. [2]
And I think "just don't do such thing."
But this user still doesn't accept this undocumented mount behavior.
any thought?
