| 15:47 | vpeter> | jnettlet: Could I ask you something - because you are such a guru :). Is there some kernel module or some other kernel functionality which would expose one folder on a partition as whole partition or a drive? Something like "mount --bind". |
| 15:48 | EmilKarlson> | what's the angle here, technically it does not match mostly |
| 15:48 | EmilKarlson> | btrfs allows you to mount subvolumes, but you can't eg. mount them to different virtual machines safely |
| 15:49 | EmilKarlson> | you can mount elsewhere and do a directory bind mount, which is mostly equally good |
| 15:50 | EmilKarlson> | nfs, 9p, fuse also exist |
| 15:51 | vpeter> | What I would like to achieve is to hide everything else on this partition. I can unmount original partition after mount bind but I'm just thinking if there is some better solution. |
| 15:51 | vpeter> | It doesn't hurt to ask :) |
| 15:52 | EmilKarlson> | you can also mount tmpfs on top of the dirs you want to hide |
| 15:53 | vpeter> | True. |
| 17:32 | jnettlet> | vpeter you probably want to use a fuse filesystem to do this. Something like cmdfs allows you create a virtualfs with a filtered view |
| 18:07 | vpeter> | Thanks. Something to remember. |
