# mount --bind /show /tmp/show # rm /tmp/show/fred/stuff # umount /tmp/show At least under Linux. When doing backups, I always do a bind mount of '/' somewhere and back that up. It's especially important to get a real /dev. There's also a 'mount --rbind' which preserves the submounts, but that isn't useful here. Newer kernels give even more control over it.
