Yes, that seems like a good way of saying what I was thinking. And for CP/M filesystems, the current answer is that no, they cannot be mounted. > ... and if those CP/M filesystems can be mounted like normal > filesystems,.. essential stuff for booting might be on such a fs.... > And then we'd need it in /sbin/ They cannot. And I see no motivation for ever changing that... it's a deep legacy filesystem type that has no features that would make it desirable to actively use today. Some of us just still have old CP/M machines around and it's handy to be able to move files from CP/M media to Linux and vice versa. ;-) Bdale
