Linux mount: Bind or Remount Part Of File Hierarchy At Another Directory

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:

refer‮ual:ot ‬tturi.com
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.
