I don't think it's possible to do the following, but I'd love to find
out I am wrong.

I have a machine with an overflowing / partition, and a while back it
acquired a huge disk that someone simply mounted as /mnt/sdb2, and then
filled the root of that with piles of stuff. I would now like to make
better use of the disk, by moving some of the /home contents over there,
without having to deal with the mess that is in the root directory of
the second disk.

At the same time I'd like to split out the Apache /home/httpd tree and
access it from, say, /www on the second disk (because it's less typing,
that's why).

And no, I do not want to use symbolic links, for obvious performance
reasons.

So the question is, can I create a directories on that second disk;

        mkdir /mnt/sdb2/home /mnt/sdb2/www

and then mount them with something like

        mount /mnt/sdb2/home /home
        mount /mnt/sdb2/www /www

As neither of these args is a device, mount is not going to be too
happy. If someone has done something like this, can they show me their
/etc/fstab?

Thanks,
David Landgren
