I gotta say the same, man. When I read the original post in the thread, I
could only come up with NFS. But I'm no expert on this... I've used NFS for
it's "intended" purpose before, and was pleased with the ability to export
only certain branches of the filesystem, not having to export an entire
filesystem (partition). I don't know of another way to do that. Like you
said yourself, the fact that the first arg to mount in your example is not a
device would not work with mount as is. I think that you're looking at this
correctly; but I don't know if there is a very good solution. If it were me
(and it has been me before), I would just use symlinks--but I never thought
about the performance that would result. I'm not asking you to settle for
symlinks if you don't want to use them, though; that's not how we innovate new
features!
I'd like to hear about it if you unconver a good way to do this. I'm sure
that I could
use it sometimes!
