I have just upgraded to pl10, and now I find that df doesn't work. It says
df: cannot read table of mounted filesystems.
It would appear that you also upgraded to a later version of
libc.so than you had before; see below.
I have the following lines in my /etc/rc, which may be relevant:
/bin/rm -f /etc/mtab* /etc/nologin /etc/utmp
/bin/rdev > /etc/mtab
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ DELETE THIS LINE
/bin/mount -av
mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /dos
/bin/rdev does not produce a correct /etc/mtab entry, and
starting with libc.so.4.3.3 this caused 'df' to break.
