George, There is no problem by using the -o bind option to mount subdirectory, I'm currently using this and it works well. This is what I'm doing : mount -t glusterfs ylal3020:/athena /users/glusterfs_mnt mount -o bind /users/glusterfs_mnt/test /otherlocation or you can mount it a the same location : mount -o bind /users/glusterfs_mnt/test /users/glusterfs_mnt in one line : mount -o bind `mount -t glusterfs ylal3020:/athena /users/glusterfs_mnt`/users/glusterfs_mnt/test /users/glusterfs_mnt Regards, Garnier Anthony > Message: 4 > Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2010 14:27:47 -0500 > From: "George L.
