To bind or remount part of the file hierarchy at another directory in Linux, you can use the mount
command with the --bind
option.
Here is the syntax for using the mount
command with the --bind
option:
mount --bind <source> <destination>
Replace <source>
with the path to the source directory and <destination>
with the path to the destination directory.
For example, to bind the /var/www
directory to the /var/www-copy
directory, run the following command:
mount --bind /var/www /var/www-copy
This will create a bind mount of the /var/www
directory at the /var/www-copy
directory. Any changes made to the files in the /var/www
directory will be reflected in the /var/www-copy
directory, and vice versa.
To remount a bind mount, use the --bind
option along with the --remount
option. For example, to remount the /var/www
bind mount at the /var/www-copy
directory, run the following command:
mount --bind --remount /var/www /var/www-copy
That's it! You now know how to bind or remount part of the file hierarchy at another directory in Linux using the mount
command.
