I'm using a 2.4.0-test1-ac7 kernel with devfs mounted automatically
and /etc/mtab linked to /proc/mounts.
/proc/mounts now contains the following:
none / shm rw 0 0
none pipe: pipefs rw 0 0
none / proc rw 0 0
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 / ext2 rw 0 0
none /dev devfs rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
Now I kind of guess what shm and the first proc are for, but what is
the pipefs doing there and what is it for?
Does it need to be there?
The problem is that programs like df or find (probably also tar),
which use setmntent and stat the mountpoint, have problems with
something mounted to "pipe:", which doesn't exist.
