Clarification attempt: I know that mount wants a device like /dev/wd0d, but my example was an atempt to explain what I want to archive. I want a mounting point in the root file system to be mounted with a directory found inside a device that is not yet mounted. I also want this transparent to samba and NFS (I'll use both).

The thing is that I want these mounted directories to share a disk (or partition) until they both cant fit. Then, the biggest one have to move away. If my ideas get to work, I only have to change the device of the mounting, not the mounting point. > > However, it seems to me that (from your example above) 'dataa' and > 'datab' are on the same partition, and, from mount(8): "For disk > partitions, the special device must correspond to a partition > registered in the disklabel(5).", so no deal. > >> >> <--------------------------------------------> >> The [email protected] email address will >> eventually be abandoned during 2009.
