Re: [gentoo-user] Information request: root directory not listed by df
No this was not the full output from df. There was nowhere, however, any reference to /dev/sdc1, the filesystem where the root filesystem / is located. Only the lines in my earlier message: rootfs29694968 2877284 25309184 11% / /dev/root 29694968 2877284 25309184 11% / In /boot/grub/grub.conf the third line in the following specifies the / directory as /dev/sdc1, while /boot is in /dev/sda1. title Gentoo Linux 2.6.30-r4.02 root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-2.6.30-gentoo-r4.02 root=/dev/sdc1 Thank you for earlier remarks that clarified this issue to a satisfactory extent.

I advise against posting truncated or edited console output. Myself, I have made simple obvious mistakes many times, but these are often easily corrected by readers because I post full complete wossisname. You may be of unimpeachable competence correctness, but when one sees only snippets of what's going on some doubt must remain that something of significance is being concealed. Stroller.
[gentoo-user] Information request: root directory not listed by df
I followed the method outlined in the Gentoo installation docs, placing /boot on a small partition. Then when booting, I specify the root directory in grub.conf. The device is listed in /etc/fstab /dev/sda4 / ext3 noatime 0 1 However, df doesn't list /dev/sda4. Is this because it was specified as a parameter? The following are listed by df: rootfs 9780176 8060012 1223356 87% / /dev/root 9780176 8060012 1223356 87% / Thank you, Alan Davis You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing---that's what counts. Richard Feynman
