It's wrong, wrong, wrong. /mnt is meant to be a mount point *itself*, not a place to mount things under. It's not that it'd really matter much if I came along and mounted something at /mnt when you'd already mounted something else at /mnt/cdrom... except that all of a sudden you wouldn't be able to see your mount any longer. Maybe just an irritation, but maybe tragic if you're using, say, a union-style file system, or a loopback mount into /mnt/cdrom, or any variety of other situations. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
