The "tmpfs" is mounted on both /run and /var/run -- so it is the same memory based file system mounted at both points.
That's why you see duplicates in both places
Two tmpfs mounts are completely different and separate filesystems. They have different content. Otherwise /run and /dev would be identical too.
Hmmm... you are right about them not being two separate mount calls of the same filesystem. I see that they use "bind": I was wrong about the dual mount, they do use bind: mount -n --bind /run /var/run mount -n --bind /run/lock /var/lock /dev is not tmpfs but of type 'devtmpfs' -- a tmpfs backed device that is pre-populated with standard device ID's as a safety measure. You may have an earlier version of the OS that doesn't have the binding - but on my system -- creating a file in one creates it in the other automatically. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
