- as root, make sure you have a /debug directory:
-
- # mkdir /debug
-
- then use mount(1M)
-
- # mount -t dbg /debug /debug
-
- use df /debug to look at:
-
- # df /debug
-
- This will normally be done at boot time (look at the
- /etc/init.d/MOUNTFSYS file -
- it checks to see if you have a /debug directory, and then uses mount(1M)
- command as above)
-
- In earlier O.S. versions (3.3 and before) /debug showed up with a
- regular df, but
- starting in 4.0, you have to do a df /debug to see it.
