mount --bind olddir newdir --> anyway to do this at startup ?

Anyway I can remount a part of the file system somewhere else during bootup ?

The shell command is:

Quote:

mount --bind <OLD_DIR> <NEW_DIR>

Thanks,
Darkknight

You can have any command running during startup. You just need to put it somewhere in the startup scripts. I recommend adding your command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

An entry in the fstab works fine. I don't know what I tried the first time but the following entry works:

Code:

source_dir  dest_dir  none  ro,bind  0 0

Thanks for the reply though. I had no idea how to run arbitrary commands at startup

If you have added the bind statement to the fstab, then you get errors when shutting down the system (shutdown -i6 -g0 -y).

Is there away to get rid of these errors? I believe the erros are probably from the halt script. I assume that once the real file system is umounted that an error is generated when trying to umount the bind-ed filesystem.

Has anyone else seend this error?

If I'm not mistaken, the order matters in fstab. Try shifting the entries around a little.
