The IP's change so frequently, I have never seen the same IP in any multiple attempts. Yeah they change but they continue till I block them (lasts couple of days some times).

You should create the chain first, and call it from your INPUT chain. /sbin/iptables -N BLACKLIST /sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p TCP --dport 22 -j BLACKLIST Did that thanks. Just call it from cron whenever is suitable for you. If you start getting iptables resource unavailable errors, remove the zcat lines, so that it is only searching the current log file. Will keep that in mind. Better than having to run this code, run your SSHD Deamon on a non-standard port, such as 222, the scans will stop immeadiatly. problem here is I usually access it from work and there's hardly any port open on my company firewall.. I can only go outbound on 20, 22,25,80, 443, 110, 143 and all these ports are already in use on my box. So, I have no other option but to run ssh on port 22 only.

As far as I can recall it worked for me that way. I wouldn't think mounting two partitions independently on one mount point would work. Only the highest mount (the most recent) would get anything. The one under it would just be supporting the mount. If you wanted two partitions to have the same information, I think you'd have to have a RAID mirror. I believe there is also a form of RAID which merely appends one partition to the other. Also, the Logical Volume Manager (which I've never used, only looked at the description in the kernel config) may be of use for something like that.
