df command does not show the root device
Issue
dfcommand does not show usage of root file system :
[root@host ~]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1 101086 12848 83019 14% /boot
tmpfs 125808 0 125808 0% /dev/shm
- However, forcing
dfto show the usage of / works, but note that it can not find the block device:
[root@host ~]# df /
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
- 5586528 1445364 3852808 28% /
- The
mount -lcommand does not show the root file system as mounted.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- /etc/fstab does not mention the root file system
