175 default y
176 help
177 Ignore rootfs entry in mount table.
178
179 In Linux, kernel has a special filesystem, rootfs, which is initially
180 mounted on /. It contains initramfs data, if kernel is configured
181 to have one. Usually, another file system is mounted over / early
182 in boot process, and therefore most tools which manipulate
183 mount table, such as df, will skip rootfs entry.
184
185 However, some systems do not mount anything on /.
186 If you need to configure busybox for one of these systems,
187 you may find useful to turn this option off to make df show
188 initramfs statistic.
189
190 Otherwise, choose Y.
