In looking through the tasks list, I see the "null" fs, which will do the job needed for this case. The symlink from outside into the the ftp area will also work, but lacks the ability to mount it -o rdonly in the ftp area. For even more flexibility, the umap fs is a version of the null fs that lets you map uid's & gid's from the original to whatever you need in the mounted file tree. If the unionfs doesn't use the layer facility that null uses, it certainly should. But a cleanup of the nullfs facilities is also on the list. <mike On Tue, 19 Jan 1999, Nathan Ahlstrom wrote: > Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 13:38:12 -0600 > From: Nathan Ahlstrom <nrahlstr@winternet.com> > To: Mike Meyer <mwm@phone.net> > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: create a link on a ftp > > > > > The union filesystem is broken in FreeBSD. > > > > Ugh.
