1) Is there a way one can write to a mounted filesystem?
You usually mount a filesystem to a folder in /n. Just use that folder as you would do the rest of the filesystem.
Just for example, if I wanted to put an executable in /bin ...how would that be done?
/bin is NOT a mounted directory. It is a bound directory. /bin would be bound to four places:
- /$objtype/bin - system executables
- /rc/bin - system shell scripts
- $home/bin/$objtype - user executables
- $home/bin/rc - user shell scripts
You choose. See bind(1) for details.
2) To mount a cdrom I know I can start 9660srv...
but how would I mount another HD? I did not see any other filesystem servers.
Depends on the filesystem. If it's fossil, see fossil(4). If it's FAT on USB, use usbfat: The choices are endless, if you know how.
