I do not think it would fail. Like this: # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/home 208486056 158605472 49880584 77% /home # mount /dev/mapper/home /mnt # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/home 208486056 158605472 49880584 77% /home /dev/mapper/home 208486056 158605472 49880584 77% /mnt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
