Why not? I never had any problems with it. > If mount would accept something like > > mount /bananas/pictures /dev/wd0d/pictures > mount /bananas/others /dev/wd0d/others > mount /bananas/music /dev/wd1d > > my problem would be solved. mount /dev/wd0d /bananas mount /dev/wd1d /bananas/music that would be my solution. What's so bad about not mounting under root that you don't want it? If you want everything to be mounted under the root: mount /dev/wd0d /bananas mount /dev/wd0d /bananas_music ln -s /bananas_music /banasas/music The symlink is unacceptable to you, it seems, because of nfs and smb exports. The other option I mentioned, using ccd and growfs, seems to be very well suited for you. But I'm repeating myself. Ariane
