10 default y
11 help
12 dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
13 Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
14 the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
15 buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
16 ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
17 are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you

505 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UMOUNT
506 help
507 Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
508 partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
509 the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
510 the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
511 a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
512
513 The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
514 your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
515 If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
516 example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
517 features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
518 that your /etc directory be writeable, tends to get easily confused
519 by --bind or --move mounts, won't update if you rename a directory
520 that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
521
522 About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
523 your kernel.
