My experience with Unix file system mounting patterns suggests that most
file systems are mounted at one specific place in the file hierarchy
almost all of the time, and, similarly, most directories that have file
systems mounted on them always have the same file system mounted on them.
I would appreciate very much hearing from people who do not use these
file system mounting patterns, who typically mount different file systems
in a given point in the hierarchy, or move file systems from one point to
another in the hierarchy. If possible, could you tell me what your
experiences are with more flexible mounting strategies, why you do it,
how often you do it, etc. ? I am doing research that suggests that prohibiting
such strategies, or limiting how they are allowed, may have merit, so I'd like
to hear about the benefits of such strategies, so I can make a balanced
decision.
Please send me mail, as I don't read comp.unix.wizards any more. Thanks.
