Since bindfs is a separate filesystem, the files /some/where/foo and /else/where/foo appear as different files to applications (the bindfs filesystem has its own st_dev value). Makes /else/where a mount point under which the contents of /some/where are visible. For example, the command bindfs /some/where /else/where The bindfs filesystem is a FUSE filesystem which creates a view of a directory tree. Unlike a hard link or symbolic link, a bind mount doesn't affect what is stored on the filesystem. (If /else/where was not empty, its previous content is now hidden.) The directories /some/where and /else/where have the same content, which is the content of /some/where.
Any modification on one side is immediately reflected on the other side, since the two views show the same data.įor example, after issuing the Linux command- mount -bind /some/where /else/where The directories and files in the bind mount are the same as the original. A bind mount instead takes an existing directory tree and replicates it under a different point. Classically, mounting creates a view of a storage device as a directory tree. A bind mount is an alternate view of a directory tree.
