mount some_dir to_another_dir
Mar. 29th, 2011 05:41 pm The bind mounts.
Since Linux 2.4.0 it is possible to remount part of the file hierarchy somewhere
else. The call is
mount --bind olddir newdir
or shortoption
mount -B olddir newdir
or fstab entry is:
/olddir /newdir none bind
After this call the same contents is accessible in two places. One can also
remount a single file (on a single file).
This call attaches only (part of) a single filesystem, not possible submounts. The
entire file hierarchy including submounts is attached a second place using
mount --rbind olddir newdir
or shortoption
mount -R olddir newdir
Note that the filesystem mount options will remain the same as those on the origi‐
nal mount point, and cannot be changed by passing the -o option along with
--bind/--rbind.
