This is the answer from upstream: On systems where /etc/mtab is a regular file, 'mount' writes the name of the backing file into /etc/mtab. Nowadays, as /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/self/mounts, this information is not available to 'df' anymore. According to util-linux sources [1], such information is available in /sys/block/loopN/loop/backing_file (kernel >= 2.6.37 is required). Therefore, 'mount' makes this extra lookup in that file to display the name of the backing file. I don't think it's a good idea to add such functionality to 'df', as this is rather OS-dependent. Furthermore, OS-specific tools - in this case e.g. 'mount' from util-linux for the Linux platform - already display the name of the backing file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
