I was trying to look at mini-unix so I mounted the disk image inside
unix v6 via:
/etc/mount /dev/rk4 /usr/mini-unix
and I noticed that if I ran the mount command as a user and not root
that /etc/mtab would not be updated (but it was updated as expected as
root). Of course /etc/mtab is owned by root :)
Then I noticed something else when I did an ls in the /usr directory:
drwxrwxrwx 20       31      368 Sep  3  1976 mini-unix
Normally I would see things like:
drwxrwxr-x  2 bin            48 May 13  1975 adm
What does the 31 mean?
