Re: [gentoo-user] mounting two partitions as one directory
I wanted to work these two as one large single one. I bought parition magic and it managed to merge both partitions without loosing any data :) R'twick - Original Message - From: Sigurd Stordal [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 10:40 AM Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] mounting two partitions as one directory -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Friday 06 June 2003 15:59, R'twick Niceorgaw wrote: Hi all, is there any way I can mount two partitions (in two separate disks) as a single directory ?

Re: [gentoo-user] mounting two partitions as one directory
Thanks marshal, Tom and rest all I'll try LVM next time if I need it :) At present i solved the problem by merging them into one partition with partition magic R'twick - Original Message - From: Marshal Newrock [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 10:52 AM Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] mounting two partitions as one directory On Mon, 9 Jun 2003, Sigurd Stordal wrote: On Friday 06 June 2003 15:59, R'twick Niceorgaw wrote: Hi all, is there any way I can mount two partitions (in two separate disks) as a single directory ?

Re: [gentoo-user] mounting two partitions as one directory
I don't think you can mount both on the same directory (mount point). However you can mount the one in (e.g.) /mnt/disk create a directory /mnt/disk/otherdisk and mount the second one on /mnt/disk/otherdisk. Hope that helps!

Re: [gentoo-user] mounting two partitions as one directory
Rick, you might check out the -o bind option for mount (man mount). It may do what you want. I don't think you can mount both on the same directory (mount point). However you can mount the one in (e.g.) /mnt/disk create a directory /mnt/disk/otherdisk and mount the second one on /mnt/disk/otherdisk. Hope that helps!
