Thanks for the information. Is /etc/mtab a regular file on your system? It should be a symlink nowadays: $ ls -ldog /etc/mtab lrwxrwxrwx 1 17 Feb 20 00:04 /etc/mtab -> /proc/self/mounts Having mount to update mtab as a regular file is deprecated: from Karel Zak's (the util-linux maintainer) blog: "Yeah, mtab is evil." http://karelzak.blogspot.de/2011/04/bind-mounts-mtab-and-read-only.html as you pointed out that there is not a problem with df, I'm marking this as "notabug" in coreutils' bug tracker. Thanks & have a nice day, Berny
