union mounting file systems... retry #1
Hi all After reading "Wonderful World of Linux 2.4" (Penguin Wizard) at http://www.linuxdevices.com/files/misc/WWOL2.4.html, I found somthing about union mounting file systems under "Linux internals", (seventh paragraph). I've been trying to find out how to do this, but I just fail. Some places I get the expression that I just have to mount the first file system, and afterwards, just use the option "-o union" to mount, but still, the originally mounted file system will disappear as soon as I mount another on top of it.

RE: union mounting file systems...
well... I just wondered how to (if possible) union mount two or more filesystems on a single mount point. The point that I want to bypass a bug/weakness in RedHat's installer is not really the case. I've tried to search the kernel mailing list archive, and find it's possible with mount -o union ... Problem is that I still can't see nothing but the last file system mounted on the mount point, so what is wrong? It may be an issue for other forums than lkml, but I really don't think RedHat is the place to go.

union mounting file systems...
Hi all I just read the "Wonderful world of linux (2.4)", where it's said that the Linux kernel 2.4 supports so-called union mounted file systems. I recently downloaded the RedHat 7.1 distribution and loop-back mounted the CD's to be able to install over ftp, but no... RedHat's install script reminds me of all the flexibility you can get from an installer delivered from Microsoft. After installing the stuff from CD #1, you're _not_ asked where CD #2 is supposed to be; you just get loads of error messages on the console. So - I can copy all the files from the two CD's - or - union mount them (the .iso's) on a common directory. Does anyone know where I can find a mount program that actually does this?

union mounting?
Hi Alex, I'm working on an embedded distro, and it would be nice if I could just mount 'packages' over the top of one another; each 'package' is a cramfs filesystem. I'm currently using a bunch of symlink stuff, but it's not real pretty. If you've got union mounting patches for testing, I'd be interested. ;-) regards, David -- David L.
