184 Ignore rootfs entry in mount table.
185
186 In Linux, kernel has a special filesystem, rootfs, which is initially
187 mounted on /. It contains initramfs data, if kernel is configured
188 to have one. Usually, another file system is mounted over / early
189 in boot process, and therefore most tools which manipulate
190 mount table, such as df, will skip rootfs entry.
191
192 However, some systems do not mount anything on /.
193 If you need to configure busybox for one of these systems,
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer74b871f2011-06-15 21:00:18 +0200194 you may find it useful to turn this option off to make df show
195 initramfs statistics.
