Hi guys,

What does this do?

jduplooy:~# df -lh
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2              52G   42G  7.7G  85% /
tmpfs                 503M     0  503M   0% /lib/init/rw    <----------- ??


jduplooy:~# ls -lha /lib/init/rw/
total 4.0K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   60 2007-06-05 19:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K 2007-02-07 18:36 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 2007-06-05 19:03 .ramfs

Unmounting it seems to have no effect.  I'm running Etch on several 
machines: desktop and server, even mix of AMD64, 486, 686 and K7 stock 
kernels.

Thanks
Hans
