Running Debian 7; when I execute a
cat /etc/mtab
I can see all sorts of useful information about the filesystems that are mounted, such as the filesystem and options used to mount then; however for the rootfs I see only:
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
How can I know more about the rootfs; which physical device/partition was used, filesystem, mount options etc?
On my system /etc/mtab is in fact a symbolic link to /proc/mounts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 9 2013 /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts
I think you should be looking into /proc/mounts:
$ cat /proc/mounts
That file has exact device, filesystem and other mount options used to mount different filesystems on your OS. The format is same as of /etc/fstab.
