/bin is = NOT a mounted directory. It is a bound directory. /bin would be bound to = four places:

- /rc/bin = - system shell scripts

You choose. See bind(1) = for details.

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.
