Hi,

I got a weird /home mount like below:

# df /home
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
- 0 0 0 - /home

What does this mean and why I have a mount like this?

# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol1
969M 873M 46M 95% /
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol3
11G 9.2G 772M 93% /usr
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol5
3.8G 73M 3.6G 2% /tmp
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol6
3.8G 395M 3.3G 11% /var
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol7
3.8G 88M 3.6G 3% /var/log
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol8
3.8G 72M 3.6G 2% /var/tmp
/dev/mapper/vg00-lvol4
29G 230M 27G 1% /opt
/dev/vda1 190M 20M 161M 11% /boot
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm

My guess is that it's displayed like that because /home is not on a separate partition - thus there is no mountpoint for /home.
Just a guess, displays differently on my system (Linux Mint) though.
What distro do you use?

FWIW, If I try df on a directory, not a partition, it reports correctly for the partition containing that directory (this is in opensuse).

Strictly speaking i think pingu is correct. OTOH on Centos6.4 it does indeed default to the relevant partition as per Beryllos.

As above, try a partition rather than a random dir.

Also, tells us your distro
Lastly, please use code tags to post https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...do=bbcode#code

The distro is I cannot rename the directory.
BTW: so far as I know, the df displays the amount of disk space available on the file system containing each file name argument, so df should display the / partition info if /home is not on a separate partition.

Huh ???
distro = distribution ie what version of Linux?
See my prev post

Oh, sorry that I misunderstand that as trouble. distribution is rhel5.6 .
