I understand what these do. Can anybody explain to me why I would use them? Eg, I could do something like:
mount --rbind /opt/lib/IBM /var/lib/IBM Now I can get to the same physical files via /opt/lib/IBM or /var/lib/IBM. I guess that if I messed something up and could not find the config file, this would be helpful. But how is that better than: ln -s /opt/lib/IBM /var/lib/IBM ??? The best that I can figure out is if I did something like: mount -bind /bin /tmp/bin chroot /tmp /bin/sh to get to a chroot'ed environment. Is that the reason? Oh, and does it work? I haven't tried because I'm not where I can easily get to a Linux system right now. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
