The beauty of using QNX is the transparent file system it has in place. The way
you can configure them allows you to mount multiple file systems on the same
"branch" of the tree.
So /dev/hda3 could be mounted as /home/ and so could /dev/hda4, /dev/hdb1-5,
etc.
So looking at each device itself, you would see:
/dev/hda3/bob
/dev/hda4/allen
/dev/hdb1/susie
But all mounted into /home you would see
/home/bob
/home/allen
/home/susie
Trust me, there are MANY time I've wished I could do this under Linux. I
believe this file system stacking is done under Neutrino, a small embedded
version of their OS.
