hi ppl,

Could someone plz tell me who makes the entries in /proc/mounts? Is it added when the kernel detects a new device attached to the system or is it after the device is mounted using mount?

thanx in advance...

Kernel.

After the device is mounted. "/proc/mounts" contains currently mounted filesystems only.
