Mounting two or more 2fs files. (Solved, sort of)
Posted: Thu 03 May 2012, 16:45
Hello,
I wonder if anyone have experimented with mounting two 2fs files at the same time?
Say, I would have the regular 2fs file mounted and then one on top of that to cover my personal stuff like the folders ~/mail, ~/my-documents and ~/web-server.
My understanding of 2fs files are that they are similar to sfs files. We can mount several sfs files and their folder/file structure is transparently placed on top of the previous one. The big difference is that a 2fs file is writable whereas the sfs files are not.
Are there technical challenges to implement my scenario?
Which files should I look at to implement something like this.?
As a side-note I'm already using a separate encrypted img file mounted on my my-documents folder. But it would be so much better if I could cover all my personal folders with one file.
