Overview

The vfs_mountedfrom() function sets the mounted from name for a mount. This value is used by statfs(2) to fill in f_mntfromname.

In most cases from is the device that contains the file system, but in the case of a pseudo file system it could be a descriptive name like "devfs" or "procfs".
