FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE / Pentium class server First, I have reasons to use mount_null instead of a symlink because I am using anon FTP as well as secure FTP (ProFTP) which needs to be accessible via apache and a home dir. Here is my problem, assume a scenario: Original (web) directory: /somedir/www/ Mount point: /usr/home/someuser/www/ As a generic example. To mount I simply do the following: mount_null /somedir/www/ /usr/home/someuser/www/ All works well, I can telnet in, list the directory etc. Here is an example of what mount listing outputs: /somedir/www on /usr/home/someuser/www (null, local) However when I copy any reasonably sized binary file to the mount point, its completely screwed up on the original directory... For example: bash-2.03$ pwd /usr/home/someuser bash-2.03$ cp myapp.tar.gz ./www bash-2.03$ When I go to /somedir/www/, the file exists, and same size and everything, but when I copy it from /somedir or use download it via apache, or whatever, the file is invalid, its got junk in it. Why is this? The only way to fix the problem is for me to get on as root and copy it from their home to the web directory beforehand.. not using mount_null at all. Please help!
