Works, I have a lot of --bind mounts. The only problem is I am getting 
something like "umount2: can't unmount ...., not mounted" when rebooting, 
which is ignorable - no damage/problems caused to the fs at all... I think it 
has to do something with my "crossmounts" (--bind inside --bind-ed dir). I do 
--bind my /var/ftp to /var/www/html/ftp and some yum stuff inside bouth.
