As far as the VFS is concerned non-directory mounts are perfectly fine. There's a lot of use cases for non-directory bind-mounts and at least some for regular filesystems with a non-directory root. E.g. the streams folks are using something like that. Solaris even ships with non-directory root filesystems mounted by default these days. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
