NAME
/proc/pid/mounts - mounted filesystems
DESCRIPTION
- /proc/pid/mounts (since Linux 2.4.19)
-
This file lists all the filesystems currently mounted in the
process's mount namespace (see
mount_namespaces(7)).
The format of this file is documented in
fstab(5).
-
Since Linux 2.6.15, this file is pollable:
after opening the file for reading, a change in this file
(i.e., a filesystem mount or unmount) causes
select(2)
to mark the file descriptor as having an exceptional condition, and
poll(2)
and
epoll_wait(2)
mark the file as having a priority event
(POLLPRI).
(Before Linux 2.6.30,
a change in this file was indicated by the file descriptor
being marked as readable for
select(2),
and being marked as having an error condition for
poll(2)
and
epoll_wait(2).)
- /proc/mounts
-
Before Linux 2.4.19, this file was a list
of all the filesystems currently mounted on the system.
With the introduction of per-process mount namespaces in Linux 2.4.19 (see
mount_namespaces(7)),
this file became a link to
/proc/self/mounts,
which lists the mounts of the process's own mount namespace.
The format of this file is documented in
fstab(5).
