I am wondering if there is any way to mount a partition -- in my case, a MSDOS partition. I'd like to only mount one specific directory, lets say, /archive. I don't want other files to be public as I do have some information on my MSDOS partition that I dont want my other users to snoop into -- but I wish to make some useful utilities in /archive on my dos partition available. Is there any way I can do this? If I cant mount only a specific directory, then are there any way I can "block" out access to specific directories? I will probably be making this drive read only and am wondering if there are any solutions or approaches to this problem. Many thanks! Jon
