man mount That explains 'bind-mounts'. Is that what you are trying to figure out - what bind-mounts are? Or do you know, and instead are not understanding why they work in a particular context? I'd say lfs doesn't need to expound on that more: the earlier chapters indicate that some background knowledge/experience is ... useful; and I'd expect that would include looking up (if not already) 'man mount' or googling the info; and you'd see that bind-mounts are quite straightforward really. hth, akh > > :-)~MIKE~(-: -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
