[OtherOS] Bind mounts under windows

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Just wondering if anyone out there knew how to do something similar to "mount -o bind /path/to/source /path/to/mount/point. I'm looking at moving some core windows user folders (eg Downloads) to a separate partition and it would be real nice to just bind mount the folders instead of having to reconfigure a bunch of apps for the new path.

I want my vm to use a filesystem tree consisting of multiple filesystem mounted together:

mount <root-path> /var/lib/vz/private/<id>/ mount <home-path> /var/lib/vz/private/<id>/home/

Using this layout vzctl start fails since vzquota can not work on busy directories.

I'm struggling to get automount to work as desired.

If I run the following:

sudo mount -t nfs server:/path/to/share /path/to/mount_point

I get the mount appearing fine.

However, if I add the following line to my auto_master:

/path/to/mount_point server:/path/to/share

it creates the mount point directory but the contents aren't visible.

When I observe the output of the mount command, they ar

maybe the best solution I've found is to remove the bind mount points from fstab and mount them from a script in systemd

[ubuntu] grub2 problem 12 weeks 4 days ago

hi i have installed windows 7 then Ubuntu , all works find so far after i installed windows xp , the grub2 got deleted ofc and windows xp was booting directly , so i repaired my grub

{ 1 sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt

2 sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts && sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc && sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys

So I had the perfect Ubuntu 12 / Windows 7 dual boot set-up -- until I had to re-install Windows 7.

After the deed, GRUB2 was of course wiped out, thus my Ubuntu installation is rendered inaccessible.

I have tried these steps:

mount /dev/sda5 /mnt #This is where my Ubuntu installation resides. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot #Indicated by the `*` under `Boot` when doing `fdisk -l` mount --bind /mnt

Symlinks have limitations in how functions like ls, mv, and cp can operate on them because unlike shell initiated commands like cd, these functions do not have information about how the user accessed the directory with respect to the logical path (see related post).

I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 LTS. Upgrade went fine, even restarted couple of times. Then the next day while booting into Ubuntu, after the grub, it gave the error 'Kernel panic : not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0).
