Do you mean the output from mount(8) command? And /proc/mounts shows what you expect? If so, - mount(8) shows the contents of a file, /etc/mtab. - every mount/umount operation should maintain /etc/mtab. - for aufs, /sbin/mount.aufs maintains /etc/mtab. I am afraid you didn't install aufs-util (or aufs2-util). > the last three are those pertaining to the new aufs root filesystem. how do > i get rid of the first five mount locations? coz if i do a "df -h" in the > new aufs filesystem it says /tmp/rw and /tmp/sqfsh doesn't exist which is > true as these were present during initramfs execution. Kindly help me. > Awaiting for any pointers at least to rectify this. You can modify /etc/mtab manually, and mount(8) will follow it. But, generally speaking, it is better to let the commands handle /etc/mtab. It means install aufs-util (or aufs2-util) is recommended. And, before you run switch_root, it might be better to "mount -o move" the aufs branches. J. R.
