Hello all,
Does this seem normal ? I find having both rootfs and /dev/root mounted on /
weird... It's a minimalist embedded linux system.

# df

rootfs 394.6M 7.9M 386.7M 2% /
/dev/root 394.6M 7.9M 386.7M 2% /
tmpfs 62.3M 28.0k 62.3M 0% /tmp

# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)

# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/root / ext2 rw,noauto 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0


It does not seem normal at all. Why would you put any file system in /dev ?
Why not mount the root file system on / ?

You better be more clear what you are trying to do.
