Message-ID: <20070118220529.GA20862@win.tue.nl> Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2007 23:05:29 +0100 From: Andries Brouwer <aebr@....tue.nl> To: Pavel Machek <pavel@....cz> Cc: Alberto Alonso <alberto@...ys.net>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: Ext3 mounted as ext2 but journal still in effect. >> You were right, even after making the changes, it seems to be >> telling lies: >> >> # mount >> /dev/hda2 on / type ext2 (rw,usrquota) Roughly speaking: /etc/mtab shows you what you said to mount. /proc/mounts shows what the current kernel state is. These may differ greatly. For all filesystems mounted by you using mount(8), a line is added to /etc/mtab, where the contents of that line is related to the given mount command, but not to what the kernel did. For the root filesystem, mount(8) writes an initial line in /etc/mtab taken from /etc/fstab. Again the information is from you, not from the kernel. >> # dmesg | grep 'Kernel command' >> Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/hda2 rootfstype=ext2 > ... >> /dev/root / ext3 rw 0 0 It would be a bad bug if the kernel mounted its root filesystem with a type different from the type given in "rootfstype=". But I see you use an initrd, and there can be all kinds of commands there. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
