Hi Michael,

1. The output of the  df command in
   the preceding coreutils.x86_64 0:8.17-6.fc18 contains a line for
   the root FS
2. The output of the actual mount command shows a line for the root FS!

   mount
   ...
   /dev/sda8 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered)
   ...

   /etc/mtab too!

Kind regards
