Subject: [9fans] create /home
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:14:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a560a5d01003151614if9b7b4cv95f464e872efdb84@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'd like to create a directory /home and then bind it to /usr.
(This is because I want some paths from linux that start with /home
were valid paths in my plan 9, too.)
However, I can't create a directory in my / --- when writing 'mkdir
/home' I get the message
mkdir: can't create /home: '/home' mounted directory forbids creation
I remember I was once solving this problem and if I am not wrong, it
was related to the fact that '/' is an union directory and there was
no directory bound to '/' with creation allowed. But somehow I now
don't know where and what I should change, so that I can create a
directory in '/'... I tried to change
the information in /lib/namespace, which in my case starts with
mount -aC #s/boot /root $rootspec
bind -a $rootdir /
to either 'mount -acC' ... or 'bind -ac', but the former seems to not
help and the latter results in no ability to boot afterwards...
(this was just a try, I don't really know what's really going on...)
Can anybody help?
Thanks!
Ruda
