Subject: [gentoo-user] Information request: root directory not listed by df
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:20:15 +1000	[thread overview]

I followed the method outlined in the Gentoo installation docs, placing
/boot on a small partition.  Then when booting, I specify the root directory
in grub.conf.

The device is listed in /etc/fstab

              /dev/sda4               /               ext3
noatime         0 1

However, df doesn't list /dev/sda4.  Is this because it was specified as a
parameter?
The following are listed by df:

              rootfs                 9780176   8060012   1223356  87% /
              /dev/root              9780176   8060012   1223356  87% /

Thank you,
Alan Davis
