[comp.unix.xenix] mnttab

kevin@iisat.UUCP (Kevin Davies) (07/15/87)

I'm using a Tandy 3000 with Tandy Xenix 1.0 (much like
SCO 2.2). The problem (more nuisance than anything
else) is that when I do a 'df', I only get one file
system displayed (/usr), but my root system IS NOT !

It doesn't seem to bother the OS, but I'd rather see
both fs's rather than just one. This happened after
a crash, and hasn't cleared itself up. The setmnt
command is still in the /etc/rc file, but the root
fs just seems to disappear when the second fs is
mounted.

Anyone have this problem or any ideas on it ?

cheers...

The setmnt command has this neat feature that it doesn't add to what is
in the /etc/mnttab file, it writes OVER it!  Thus if you ran the sequence:

	# cp /dev/null /etc/mnttab
	# mount /dev/usr /usr
	# echo "root /" | setmnt

and then did `df', you would see only `/'.

I realize this is not the problem you describe, but it is close enough
that it is worth mentioning.
