I don't know the answer to that, but the man page for "mount" mentions that /etc/mtab can either be a plain file that records the result of issuing the mount command or it can be a symbolic link to /proc/mounts.
by creating a symbolic link to /proc/mounts all file systems are displayed by df and other applications: linux:/etc # mv mtab mtab.bkp linux:/etc # ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab linux:/etc # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 21G 1.5G 19G 8% / udev 990M 132K 990M 1% /dev /dev/sda7 21G 1.5G 19G 8% / /dev/sda3 87M 76M 11M 88% /boot /dev/sdb2 199G 54G 146G 27% /home /dev/sda6 41G 1.9G 39G 5% /opt /dev/sda8 1.9G 33M 1.8G 2% /tmp /dev/sda5 70G 9.7G 61G 14% /usr /dev/sda1 55G 17G 38G 31% /windows/C /dev/sdb1 99G 48G 46G 51% /windows/D However a reboot overwrites the symlink and the info is lost again.
Perhaps for some reason (the ordering of your /etc/init.d run-level scripts, perhaps?) your mounts all happen while the root file system is read-only and hence not recorded in /etc/mtab. I am not sure this is the problem. It has been happening for some time and (at least to my knowledge) I haven't changed any of these scripts. However, is there a possibility to fix this ordering, in case it was modified or altered?
