- Subject: Minixfs mount() ...
-
- Right, I'm back. Not done much work on pl7 yet as I'm recovering from
- a foul cold (been bedridden for a couple of days).
- Anyway I'm planning to add a Dcntl to allow one Minixfs to be mounted
- on another Minixfs directory as in Unix mount(). There seems to be some call
- for such a facility (which should really be in the kernel but never mind).
- I'm still finalising the details so I'm open to suggestions about
- anything that might be worth adding as regards options. One of these may
- allow a mounted fs to be hidden from the system (i.e. no longer root accessible
- as X:) I'll have to see what problems that causes.
- Suggestions that I should implement hostname:path will be treated with
- the contempt they deserve :-)
- Steve.
