There are three titles sections coming automatically while rebooting and in /grub/grub.conf, for fedora 11, it showing two options and while logging in to any one i come to the same desktop. here is the output of /etc/fstab:

and i removed the extra 'c' which was there in the 8th line just after 1 2. now the output of df yields:

Here, after updating the system (from the GUI, System---->Administration--->Software Update), i see in above two titles of Fedora, and why it is so? but the no. is bracket for two are different, respectively:
'title Fedora (2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586)'
'title Fedora (2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586)'
i am confused why it is so.
thx

fstab holds the mount points for things that will be mounted, they may
be, they may not be, but it tables where they will be, and how (unless
the mounting function specifies different options).
mtab shows the current mount points.
