Hi,

I have a filesystem holding many projects (i.e., mounted under /projects), each 
project is managed with filesets.

I have a new big project which should be placed on a separate filesystem 
(blocksize, replication policy, etc. will be different, and subprojects of it 
will be managed with filesets). Ideally, this filesystem should be mounted in 
/projects/newproject.


Technically, mounting a filesystem on top of an existing filesystem should be 
possible, but, is this discouraged for any reason? How GPFS would behave with 
that and is there a technical reason for avoiding this setup?

Another alternative would be independent mount point + symlink, but I really 
would prefer to avoid symlinks.


Thanks a lot,

Marc
