I've got one directory LOFS mounted on top of another (this is to help move from an older standard that we used to follow to a newer one that we will be).
Something like this:
Now,
which is fine.
But,
The thing to note here is that /app/dbatools is a separate filesystem as opposed to just being a directory.
The DBAs have scripts that are referring to /x/dbatools and expecting to find other scripts/commands to execute under that directory, and the lack of any directory structure under /x/dbatools is causing them to fail.
Is this normal behaviour for LOFS mounted filesystems? If I mount x on top of y, and create a mountpoint z that uses x as part of the directory name, will I not be able to access the mountpoint z by using y as part of the directory name?
I tested out on another system (a test box), and this is apparently normal LOFS behaviour.
Q. Is this normal behaviour for LOFS mounted filesystems? If I mount x on top of y, and create a mountpoint z that uses x as part of the directory name, will I not be able to access the mountpoint z by using y as part of the directory name?
A. Yes. To be able to access mountpoint z for a different filesystem that uses either x or y as part of the pathname, z will have to contain the pathname x when it gets mounted. Then you can access it via either /x/z or /y/z.

Does anyone use lofs (loopback file systems)? I'm not looking for any deep details, but are there actually any advantages to using lofs? If anyone knows, what are the basic advantages?
Thanks.
