Hello all, I have just installed System V 3.2.2 on my machine (yea! no more DOS!!). Right now my root file system is sitting on my 65meg drive. I am going to add another 40meg drive very soon and would like to know if I can set it up to mount at root. I would rather have one file system of 105meg then two smaller ones. Any suggestions or am I trying to do the impossible? +-------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Geoffrey Webb | Internet: webbg@wsuvm1.csc.wsu.edu | | Systems Analyst | Bitnet: webbg@wsuvm1 | | Washington State University | Talknet: (509) 335-5516 | +-------------------------------+---------------------------------------+

Normal UNIX systems do not support mounting a file system on a directory
in an "appending" mode, only in a "replacing" mode. (Plan 9 does.)
However, it shouldn't be a big problem. Reserve the first 65MB for system
software (and commercial applications) and the 40MB filesystem for user data.cpcahil@virtech.uucp (Conor P. Cahill) (11/09/90)

In the standard System V R3.2.2 you cannot mount two devices so that they appear as a single file system. You can mount the second device onto a directory on the first filesystem, but you can't make it all into one file system. -- Conor P.
