What is the reason the current directory is significant? I can't find an explanation for that in the df man page.
It has nothing to do with df - it has to do with the automatic (u)mount. If you are _not_ in the directory, it will not be mounted...
but mount show it and df don't, is that normal?
it was a workaround for a problem with rpm and broken hardware. However, this has been solved for 10.0 and df should work as you expect again. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SuSE AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de
