Today Joel Hammer was heard saying:

->I mount things like /var and /home under /mnt/hda4/var and /mnt/hda4/home because my 
/
->partition on /dev/hda1 ran out of room. /opt would reside on my root partition,
->and there just wasn't enuf room for it. Thus, I need symbolic links in / to
->point to those other directories on different partitions.


*** Why not mount /dev/hda4 directly on /opt? Your data would reside on 
your hda4 partition but it would be accessible through /opt which you 
would create on /


->It never occurred to me that there was some other way of doing it.


*** Eer, does it now?


Cheers,
Zoran.
