(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
