I recently installed Gentoo for the first time (and am loving it!) and
flubbed the step in the installation in which you edit /etc/fstab.
Though everything seems to be working correctly, some behavior has left
me mystified.
The flub was as follows: The original /etc/fstab that comes with Gentoo
has /dev/ROOT set to xfs. I accidentally forgot to change xfs to ext3.
When I cycled the box, fsck gave a few complaints but it booted just
fine. I corrected the problem and rebooted, but df now gives me
www build # df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 4134900 2107248 1985644 52% /
none 257572 0 257572 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda7 4134900 45520 4047372 2% /app
... blah blah blah ...
Of course, there is no /dev/root:
www build # ls -l /dev/root
ls: /dev/root: No such file or directory
www build #
According to fstab, I am supposed to have
/dev/sda1 -> /boot
/dev/sda5 -> /
/dev/sda6 -> swap
/dev/sda7 -> /app
/dev/sda8 -> /opt
/dev/sda9 -> /home
So I am somewhat mystified what /dev/root is (I've confirmed it is in
fact /dev/sda5); that is, why does it show up as it does in my df
output?
My /etc/fstab, partition table for /dev/sda, and dmesg output is below
my sig.
Thanks in advance!
