What I did not know is, you need to make sure that when you create an empty directory, you also need to make sure that the ownership of that directory is: cvs:cvs before bind mounting. So: 1) mkdir /cvs 2) chown cvs:cvs /cvs then 3) mount --bind /var/cvs /cvs it all works now!mount --bind /var/cvs /cvs[snip!] One more issue: How to I make the bind-mount permenant, i.e. do I need to add this to fstab and if so, how?
Here's an example from one of my boxes: /home/local /usr/local auto bind 0 0
Dan: As far a LVM, I do not use it. I haven't yet learned of it's benefits so I have not applied it to my current filesystems for fear of blowing up my current installation.
I use LVM over RADI1 on most of my machines these days. I use separate filesystems for /, /usr, /tmp, /home, /var, swap, and /srv, only make them as big as I expect them to be in the medium term (i.e. leaving unallocated space in the volume group) and then extend their sizes as and when it's necessary.
