CVSWeb won't recognise mount points

Hi guys,

The data store behind our CVS server is on a windows box for reasons best known to my predecessors. Therefore the CVSROOT is a cifs mount point, actually it's /mnt/CVS but that's by the by.

The problem I have is that CVSWeb fails to recognise mount points as directories, and tells me that there is no such directory as /mnt/CVS, and yes it is mounted.

I probably don't understand mount points as much as I should, but I create a directory and it sees it fine, albeit there's nothing IN it to see. Then as soon as I make the mount CVSWeb won't see it any more.

Any ideas?

MQUEUEFS(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						       MQUEUEFS(5)

NAME
mqueuefs -- POSIX message queue file system SYNOPSIS
To link into kernel: options P1003_1B_MQUEUE To load as a kernel loadable module: kldload mqueuefs DESCRIPTION
The mqueuefs module will permit the FreeBSD kernel to support POSIX message queue. The module contains system calls to manipulate POSIX mes- sage queues. It also contains a file system to implement a view for all message queues of the system. This helps users to keep track of their message queues and make it more easily usable without having to invent additional tools. The most common usage is as follows: mount -t mqueuefs null /mnt/mqueue where /mnt/mqueue is a mount point. It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to: null /mnt/mqueue mqueuefs rw 0 0 This will mount mqueuefs at the /mnt/mqueue mount point during system boot. Using /mnt/mqueue as a permanent mount point is not advised as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD directory layout. Some common tools can be used on the file system, e.g.: cat(1), chmod(1), chown(8), ls(1), rm(1), etc. To use only the message queue system calls, it is not necessary for user to mount the file system, just load the module or compile it into the kernel. Manually creating a file, for example, ``touch /mnt/mqueue/myqueue'', will create a message queue named myqueue in the kernel, default message queue attributes will be applied to the queue. It is not advised to use this method to create a queue; it is better to use the mq_open(2) system call to create a queue as it allows the user to specify different attributes. To see the queue's attributes, just read the file: cat /mnt/mqueue/myqueue SEE ALSO
mq_open(2), nmount(2), unmount(2), mount(8), umount(8) AUTHORS
