Just do not look at > it and it will not bother you. that's a great line of reasoning. :p seriously though, is there really no where else that it can go? i'm not too familiar with udev, but i'm guessing that it has to go on the root partition, or at the least it can't go under a directory that could possibly be mounted over it. so that precludes /var, which is too bad. > If you really can't stand it, then unmount the bind mount and rmdir the > directory. It will not be created again. must it be mounted for everyone, or is it merely a convenience/necessity for a few people in specific situations? if the latter is true, wouldn't it be better to default to not having it mounted and give a way to have it mounted for those who need it? sean --
