    No such thing is there.

    Since grep is not enabled in my board , i did  cat 
/proc/filesystems  it showed
nodev   sysfs
nodev   rootfs
nodev   bdev
nodev   proc
nodev   sockfs
nodev   pipefs
nodev   futexfs
nodev   tmpfs
nodev   eventpollfs
             ext2
             cramfs
nodev    ramfs
             efs
nodev   jffs2

the content of /etc/fstab is

<file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>               <dump>  <pass>
/dev/root       /               ext2    rw,noauto                 0      1
proc            /proc           proc    defaults                  0      0
none            /sys            sysfs   defaults                  0      0
devpts          /dev/pts        devpts   defaults,gid=5,mode=620  0      0
/dev/mtdblock1  /flash           jffs2   defaults                  0      0
/dev/mtdblock2  /flash1           jffs2   defaults                  0      0

none            /proc/bus/usb   usbfs   defaults                  0      0

Any idea?

Thanks
Rahanesh
