File-systems like proc, tempfs etc. are not associated with an actually existing device node. Therefore, one can use an arbitrary string as the device parameter for the mount command. For example: $ sudo mount -t tmpfs oohwhatanight /mnt $ mount [...] oohwhatanight on /mnt type tmpfs (rw) $ It seems, the scripts that mount /dev, /var/run etc. use "none" as "device" parameter. That may be different to what was used on previous Ubuntu versions. Moreover, whether or not using "none" is a good idea seems to be debatable, since the mount man page explicitly says | The customary choice none is less fortunate: the error message `none | busy' from umount can be confusing. -- Regards mks -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
