Under SunOS/Solaris, this would normally be done using a loopback mount. (Faster than NFS, maintains unix semantics, and doesn't open the security hole of having an NFS server running...) I see that the mount(8) man page references mount_lofs, but there is no mount_lofs man page, nor is there an /sbin/mount_lofs. Does anyone know why loopback filesystem support seems to be missing from FreeBSD? -Pat
