Subject: 2.4.7 tmpfs strange behaviour
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 00:59:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010725005940.A5607@werewolf.able.es> (raw)

Hi.

I have notice some strange behaviour for tmpfs/shmfs. It seems to define the
device somehow related to the cwd where the mount command is issued.
I will explain. This is the relevant part of my /etc/fstab:

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,size=128M 0 0

And now I try to mount it:

werewolf:~# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1               248895     79908    156137  34% /
/dev/sda2              3099292   2080088    861768  71% /usr
/dev/sda3              4095488   1591936   2295512  41% /home
/dev/sda5              1027768         4    975556   1% /toast
/dev/sdb1              4232960     32840   4200120   1% /mnt/disk
werewolf:~# mount -a -t tmpfs

werewolf:~# cd /tmp
werewolf:/tmp# mount -a -t tmpfs
werewolf:/tmp# df

/dev/sda3              4095488   1591936   2295512  41% /home
/dev/sda5              1027768         4    975556   1% /toast
/dev/sdb1              4232960     32840   4200120   1% /mnt/disk
/root/tmpfs             131072         0    131072   0% /dev/shm
/tmp/tmpfs              131072         0    131072   0% /dev/shm

???? Strange devices.... both mounted under /dev/shm.

BTW, look at /etc/mtab:
werewolf:/tmp# cat /etc/mtab
/dev/sda1 / ext2 rw 0 0
/procfs /proc proc rw 0 0
^
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620 0 0
/dev/sda2 /usr ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/sda3 /home ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/sda5 /toast ext2 rw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk reiserfs rw 0 0
/root/tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,size=128M 0 0
^^^^^^^^^^^
/tmp/tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw,size=128M 0 0
^^^^^^^^^^

Why devpts is just plain 'devpts', and procfs is '/procfs' ??? Some bug
that generates device name with cwd for all special filesystems but devpts ?

Kernel or mount bug ?

TIA
