194 Ignore rootfs entry in mount table.
195
196 In Linux, kernel has a special filesystem, rootfs, which is initially
197 mounted on /. It contains initramfs data, if kernel is configured
198 to have one. Usually, another file system is mounted over / early
199 in boot process, and therefore most tools which manipulate
200 mount table, such as df, will skip rootfs entry.
201
202 However, some systems do not mount anything on /.
203 If you need to configure busybox for one of these systems,
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer74b871f2011-06-15 21:00:18 +0200204 you may find it useful to turn this option off to make df show
