Something like this in fstab: /usr2/ftp/pub/Linux/RedHat-9.0/iso/shrike-i386-disc1.iso /usr2/ftp/pub/Linux/RedHat-9.0/mnt/disc1 iso9660 loop,ro 0 0 /usr2/ftp/pub/Linux/RedHat-9.0/iso/shrike-i386-disc2.iso /usr2/ftp/pub/Linux/RedHat-9.0/mnt/disc2 iso9660 loop,ro 0 0 /usr2/ftp/pub/Linux/RedHat-9.0/iso/shrike-i386-disc3.iso /usr2/ftp/pub/Linux/RedHat-9.0/mnt/disc3 iso9660 loop ,ro 0 0
You then use lndir to symlink everything back to where you want it (to the i386 dir for redhat). You may have to increase the max_loop devices option to the loop module (i think default is 16). We use proftpd, and it works great. I think there is also a HOWTO on this. -ray On Mon, 14 Jul 2003, John Hebert wrote: > Hmm! Sounds interesting.
