Issue

- Fstab entries: 
# grep /boot /etc/fstab
UUID=f180338e-8fa5-44c3-abb2-c2acc4c4d2a2 /boot           ext4    rw,noauto,nodev        1 2

• Still /boot is not getting mounted:

# df -Ph /boot
Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVolRoot  9.9G  2.1G  7.3G  23% /

• But I can see some files inside a /boot directory which is inside / (ROOT):

# ls -ltr /boot
total 15968
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     4096 Oct 15  2013 grub
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root     4096 Apr 24 19:04 efi
-rw------- 1 root root 16340842 Apr 28 21:58 initramfs-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64.img

• But after mounting actual boot device I can see correct files:

# mkdir /boot_mount
# mount -t ext4 -o rw,nodev UUID=f180338e-8fa5-44c3-abb2-c2acc4c4d2a2 /boot_mount
# ls -ltr /boot_mount
total 26302

• Why there are two different BOOT directory contents ?
• How to resolve it ?
