Personally I find it a bit misleading since it is a very general name.
A script named "mountfs" should do what mountall.sh currently does,
this would make a sensible name pair to mountnfs IMHO. And "your"
mountfs should somehow make clear that it is responsible only for the
virtual file systems provided by the kernel; that's why I proposed
mountkernfs. The name vfs (for "virtual" is already taken for a
different concept in the kernel; what about "mountkfs", this is even
shorter?

Some consistency might be nice here, but OTOH, most users certainly
won't notice or care. So do whatever you like best :-)

Have a nice day!

Martin,
just compiling kernel 2.6.0 :-)
