Hi all Im haveing this troubble with mounting a folder from on disk to a folder on another. The scenario is something like this: I'm running an ftp server just for a few of my friends and let them log into their home directories. I have there created a folder "ftp". I have then a folder on another disk for the ftp stuff called /ftpd/download. I wish to mount /ftpd/download to /home/<user>/ftp. I have tried to use mount -o bind /ftpd/download /home/<user>/ftp without any luck. I am really not sure about the "bind" option, it was something i picked up on the net, but I'm sure that both mount and smbmount is supported by the kernel, that is I can mount with vfat and msdos and samba/windows share. If I mount an msdos partition it's ok, but i I try with the -o bind option, I get the error message : "mount, not supported by kernel" My wish is to let the users log into their home dir's and lock them there, with exeption of the mounted folder. I have also tried vith symbolic links, but that gives the users access all the way down to /. I am running woody with 2.2-20 kernel. Any ideas? /ernst
