I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it is possible to mount a drive (single partition) to a nested directory on an existing Samba mount point and have the entire structure considered one drive?
The situation is this. I have a large drive mounted to a share called "/pub". This has been identified as my Samba mount point and all works as it should. What I would like to do is add a subdirectory to the drive mounted to the "/pub" share point and mount an additional drive to that. I would like to be able to have this second drive treated as an extention of the original disk, under Samba. This would mean that the capacity of the second drive would be pooled with the first drive, on which it is mounted. For example: I have a 200GB hard drive mounted to the directory "/pub". I would like to add an additional 60GB drive to this. Can I create a directory on the 200GB drive called "/pub/temp" and mount the 60GB drive to that mount point? Then be able to have Samba consider the whole mess as a single 260GB drive? I have already tried this (with my limited knowledge) and all that seems to happen is that the Samba identifed disk capacity size remains at the 200GB mark. The additional 60GB isn't recognized. Would this be possible, or am I blowing smoke out my lower orifice? If it is possible, how would I do this? Is there any documentation that would explain something like this somewhere? What would this be called if I were to look for it (I haven't the slightest idea how to start searching for such a thing)? Thanks to all in advance.
