It looks like it is doing the right thing: making /local/etc appear at /etc. Your original /etc contained all the normal files, and your /local/etc only contains mtab. After the bind-mount, when you ls /etc, all you see is the mtab which is really in /local/etc. So I don't see a problem here. I'm assuming that your /local/etc really does contain only mtab. You did not provide a listing of that directory. Do a "ls /local/etc" to see what is there. I'll bet it will only list mtab. - MacK. ----- Edmund R.
