AFAIK this isn't handled at all. Why do you want to do this? > Since filesystems can be `mounted' in users directories, serveral users > of the same machine are very likely to mount the same filesystem in > their own home dir, so that's an important issue. A user will not (in most cases) 'mount' a disk stored filesystem which is stored on a device or partition, for example (and it will not have the permissions to do this). The user can 'mount' a filesystem stored in a file (this is called a loopback device in linux). Most users will only mount network filesystems or special purpose filesystems. _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
