I have had /home/gottlieb a symlink to /local/allan/gottlieb
for a while. Now I am having a problem because apache doenn't follow
symlinks by default (presumably due to some security concern).
As a test I did
rm /home/gottlieb
mkdir /home/gottlieb
mount --bind /local/allan/gottlieb /home/gottlieb
and all seems well.
Two questions.
1. Are there common gotcha's with mount --bind. That is, will
programs that have worked fine with the symlink now fail?
2. Assuming I want to go with mount --bind, how do I make it happen
during startup (I assume the mount is not preserved across
reboots). The man pages for fstab doesn't suggest that fstab is
the way to go. Do you put the mount in the boot runlevel and if so
where?
thanks,
allan
