lofs under linux?
 

Hello!
When I was under solaris, it was useful to use lofs to have acess to the same dir via different pathes, for example,
to /opt/mysoft I also can go using /home/igor/thesoft. This isn't a symbolic links, it is really alternative path!
Is any similar solution under linux?
PS:I use RHEL

If it's a drive then you can mount it twice in two different places and it will essentially do the same thing you're looking to do. See also dd and losetup commands in RedHat. In my latest blog post I use them in extending LVM volumes. (see under my username)

If it is on the same partition a hardlink would be the same what you describe.

Directories can be mounted in several places with "--(r)bind" (see 'man mount'). Also see FUSE bindfs.

So Solaris lofs = loopback fs https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...m-lofs-153697/, so here's a Linux example equivalent https://code.google.com/p/iredmail/w...Yum_Repository
