That's not how bind mounts work, or what they're for. They're purely for providing an alternative path to access the same content in multiple places, and nothing else. The free space you'll see will be that of the original filesystem, since all the calls are being routed through to the original filesystem - the new one (in your scenario) isn't actually going to be used at all.
For example, watch what happens if I do a bind mount of my /boot filesystem to a new directory, /mnt/misc:
So as you can see, the disc space and all other properties of the bind mount destination are the same as the source, since in reality all you're doing is providing an additional path for accessing the source, and nothing more.
hi people,
I'm trying to create a mount point, but am having no sucess at all, with the following:
mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/diskname /newdirectory
but i keep getting - mount-point /newdirectory doesn't exist.
What am i doing wrong/missing?
Thanks

Hello, I have an AIX Oracle database server that I need to create a new filesystem/mount where I can create a new ORacle home to install 11g on. What are the needed steps to create this? There are mounts for Oracle 9i and 10g already. Thank you.

Dear Gurus,
Could it be possible to have the output of df -k sorted? The df -k output messed up after recent power trip.
Also, is there any folders that I should look into to reduce the root size (other than /var/adm and /var/crash) after server crash?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi All,
we have an issue in bind mounting LINUX.
we are able to see the bound mounts in mount command and
df -h <file system name> but they are not visible in normal df -h command.
all these mounts are local mounts.
we have a /xyz is mount and abc is a directory in /xyz ( /xyz/abc )

ppmtosixel
ppmtosixel(1) General Commands Manual ppmtosixel(1)NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format
SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC
LJ250 color inkjet printer.
If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table
begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file.
OPTIONS -raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com-
pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni-
tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower.
-margin
If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci-
fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image.
PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?.
BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was
greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the
color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation.
