tmpfs is a filesystem type, like ext4. Because it's not associated with a device, the filesystem type is also displayed in the portion of mount's output that the device associated with the mountpoint is usually displayed. If you look closely, you'll notice that sysfs (/sys), selinuxfs, and other such "special" filesystems do the same thing. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
