Strange df output

Hi,

my Fedora 15 is installed on /dev/sda11, which is the rootfs; why df
-h or cat /etc/mtab
produces this output?

Does anybody know what's the meaning of:
 'rootfs Mounted on /'  and
 '/dev/sda11 mounted on /tmp, /var/tmp, /home' ?

How can /dev/sda11 be mounted on /home and /tmp and /var/tmp ?

Here the strange output:

------------Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
********rootfs                 20G  9.9G  9.2G  52% /
-------------udev                  489M     0  489M   0% /dev
-------------tmpfs                 496M  304K  496M   1% /dev/shm
-------------tmpfs                 496M  716K  496M   1% /run
********/dev/sda11             20G  9.9G  9.2G  52% /
-------------tmpfs                 496M     0  496M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
-------------tmpfs                 496M     0  496M   0% /media
********/dev/sda11             20G  9.9G  9.2G  52% /tmp
********/dev/sda11             20G  9.9G  9.2G  52% /var/tmp
********/dev/sda11             20G  9.9G  9.2G  52% /home

This is an extract of /etc/fstab:

UUID=98d28139-f7f9-4e77-8cc6-15c75bdb0f31 /                       ext4
   defaults        1 1

the /dev/disk/by-uuid/98d2... is a soft link to /dev/sda11, to confirm
that /dev/sda11 is rootfs.

Can I unhide the real /dev/sda11 between rootfs or it is a kernel behaviour?


Thanks,
Daniele
