df output

Hi MiNT-ers

Can anyone explain the following, and suggest the cause and possibly a
solution :)

My hard drive is partitioned as follows:

	c:	-	 52.54 Mb	TOS	boot partition	
	d:	-	 63.02 Mb	TOS	applications
	e:	-	157.40 Mb	TOS	"anything-goes" partition
	f:	-	 63.02 Mb	MINIX	KGMD root partition
	g:	-	 21.07 Mb	MINIX	/home - sln'd in mint.cnf
	h:	-	 21.07 Mb	MINIX	/var/spool/mail - mounted
						during boot
	i:	-	 88.99 Mb	MINIX	/usr/local - mounted
						during boot
	j:	-	 73.50 Mb	MINIX	/usr/local/csound -
						mounted during boot

I also have a zip on k:

All minix partitions have a maximum filename length of 64; I'm using
HDDriver v6; oh yeah! - I have a falcon AND the results do not differ
between 1.12.* and 1.14.7 which I'm running mint030 renamed to mintnp.

when I execute `df` from $HOME I get this...

	Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on

	shmfs:                 13930    2311    11619     17%   /shm


Why are drives h:, i: & j: reported with the same figures as f:, and why
is f: reportedly mounted on /j? And check out the figures for u: - they
are the same as for g:...

If I do the same from /, ie the root of the filesystem, I get...

	shmfs:                 13930    2311    11619     17%   /shm

exactly the same - ignoring the fact that g: differs by a block, but where
has u: gone...?!!

Intestingly enough, I hace just `cd /usr/local;df` (i:) and `cd
/usr/local/csound;df` (j:) AND `cd /var/spool/mail;df` (h:) and each time
the figures for u: _probably_ indicated the space left on that mount-point
- _probably_, as I can't say for certain...

Is this a feature, a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Just for completeness, here's my /etc/fstab...

	f	/			minix	-	-	-
	g	/home			minix	-	-	-
	h	/var/spool/mail		minix	-	-	-
	i	/usr/local		minix	-	-	-
	j	/usr/local/csound	minix	-	-	-


...and the relevant bit of my mint.cnf...

	sln f:\usr\bin  u:\bin
	sln f:\etc      u:\etc
	sln g:\home     u:\home
	sln f:\usr      u:\usr
	sln f:\tmp      u:\tmp
	sln f:\var      u:\var

Any ideas???

Salut/.
