Plan 9 allows mounting multiple file systems at the same mount point,
one before or after the other. If you have multiple file systems
mounted on, say, '/', then, when you create a file or directory
in '/', something has to tell the system in which of the mounted file
systems this file should be created. Hence the -c flag on mount and bind.
mount -c /srv/x mountpoint
of
bind -c dir mountpoint
says that this is the file system in which new files should be created.
Needless to say, you can only do one -c mount or bind per mountpoint.
I bet your root file system isn't mounted with the -c flag.
