On linux you can do a % mount -bind olddir newdir to remount a piece of the FS somewhere else. The NullFS on FBSD seems to allow similar things. However, as much as I could find on NullFS in Google seems to indicate that it is pretty much broken and shouldn't be used. What I want to do is run several jails that would share the "read only" pieces of a system like / /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin and stuff like that. Each jail would have their own /etc and other places that would need to be different and writable. This way I only have to update the system once when I upgrade and not do all my various jails one at a time. Of course, some things would need to be done for each jail (etc updates etc) but this would minimize it... Is this a possible thing to do under FBSD? How are others doing it? Thanks for your input Chad
