Hi everyone
I'm wondering if it's possible to mount multiple devices on the same mount point.
I wish to have both devices (hda2 and hda4) mounted on the root dir.

I tried to just mount the two device on the same point.
Mount command issued by itself:
bash-2.05b# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda4 on / type ext3 (rw)

Then I checked the diskspace using df:
bash-2.05b# df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 4730632 2577056 1909388 58% /
/dev/hda4 4730632 2577056 1909388 58% /

It is showing the same size, anyone have a clue on how to solve this?
I tried to copy over a large file and the diskspace ran out at 100% even though there's enough space to save it on hda4.

Thanks

So you are trying to mount these 2 devices on the same mount point and have the full "size" of both partitions available? Sounds like a cool idea, but I don't think it's possible. You might be able to do something like that with LVM, but that's waaay beyond me (check www.tldp.org ).

Cool

There is the link to the HowTo. That really is sounding more and more like what it is you are looking for

Cool

you really can't do that at all. maybe you're not quite up on how unix file systems work together, but that's certainly nothing you should be trying to do. typically a root filesystem would actually be very small with things like /usr and /home having their own partitions. What you're after would be a really bad idea, *IF* it was even possible, which (i hope and presume) it isn't
