Hi,
When I do ‘df /’ I get:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda6 13456580 5923184 6849832 47% / tmpfs 253024 0 253024 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10240 900 9340 9% /dev tmpfs 253024 140 252884 1% /dev/shm /dev/sdc7 38456308 14630328 21872480 41% /sda7
but when I do ‘tune2fs -l /dev/hda6′ I get:
tune2fs 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008) tune2fs: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda6 Couldn’t find valid filesystem superblock.
Then when I do: ‘fdisk -l’ I get:

So here it appears that root is sda6!
What other way is there other than df to find where the root fs is mounted?
