Can one file system be R/W mounted multiple times in Linux?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The 'mount' utility allows me to mount 1 file systems multiple times at different
mount points, like "mount /dev/sdb1 /a; mount /dev/sdb1 /b".

I tried to write from /a and /b at the same time and it seems everything is OK
and no data corruption happens.
I tried only  ext4 only.

Can somebody please tell me if this usage is safe?

I'm not familiar with the internals of fs.
googling can't find an affirmative answer, I think.

Thanks,
