I'm using an up to date fedora 18. I've been asking this question in several forums and not found an answer yet. Does mount --move work? I've tried this with selinux enabled and disabled and never been able to make it work: # cd /var/tmp/ # mkdir -p foo bar # mount -t tmpfs tmpfs foo # mount --move foo bar mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /var/tmp/foo, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so The filesystem does not have to be tmpfs. Works for ext2 as well like this: # dd if=/dev/zero of=ext2fs count=2048 # mkfs.ext2 ./ext2fs # umount foo # mount -o loop ext2fs foo # mount --move foo bar mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /var/tmp/foo, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Similar information can be found in this old bug which was a sandbox problem. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=838447 -- Norman Gaywood, Computer Systems Officer University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia ngaywood@xxxxxxxxxx Phone: +61 (0)2 6773 2412 http://mcs.une.edu.au/~norm Fax: +61 (0)2 6773 3312 Please avoid sending me Word or Power Point attachments.
