Hello All,

I want to find out this question. Is the function
do_kern_mount
equivalent for the mount command

i.e. is do_kern_mount exactly equals

mount -t fs_type device mnt_point

Additionally what is the purpose of this function
(do_kern_mount). How
this function gets the device name. Where will be the
mount point etc. Some details will be helpful.

Just read the source ;-). Entry point for mount is sys_mount, so start
from there...
