Makes sense, yes. > mount -o bind /ext1-1 /tmp > mount -o bind /ext1-1 /var/tmp Actually, it'd be /ext1-1/tmp and /ext1-1/vartmp, since I've preferred to keep them separate. In Debian, I believe /tmp is cleaned each boot while /var/tmp is not, so I wanted to preserve that. I assume that was my reason at the time, and I've stuck with it since. > Personally, I only use bind-mounts because they work over chroot/vserver > barriers, but they work here too. Right, I've used it for a chrooted per-user FTP daemon (grumble, but chroot was an acceptable compromise), to get dev-capable directories into a chrooted tree on a 'nodev' filesystem, to get a more natural home directory (than a symlink) from an NFS mount, etc.
