Re: rationale for "mount --bind"
Well, if I understand correctly, say you mount something to some directory but later find that you want it elsewhere (ie. you mount a cd to /mnt/floppy out of haste, but later correct yourself by --bind'ing it to /mnt/cdrom). It's merely a convenience thing cause stuff might be running on the mounted partition preventing you from unmounting it to remount it elsewhere. That's MY understanding.. but who knows?

rationale for "mount --bind"
with the 2.4 kernel, there is a "--bind" option for the mount command that allows one to mount a directory already mounted on a filesystem to another mount point. can anyone supply a really compelling rationale for doing this? thanks. rday k ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
