Hmm, that sounds like a bug to me then. I certainly think the
description says it should work. Maybe all rbind does it do a normal
bind mount on every mount in the dir you rbind mount, to save you from
doing all of them manually, but only at the time of running rbind, not
everytime mounts are added or deleted. Certainly doing a small test
here shows that you are right, it doesn't update when you add more
mounts under it. That sucks. :(
Never used HAL though, so perhaps it is doing something wrong.
