They are not mirrored. They (and dentries and superblock) are literally the same. mount --bind results in a new vfsmount that does (as any vfsmount) refer to a subtree of some fs. In this case - preexisting subtree. Mount tree consists of vfsmounts; there's nothing that would prohibit several vfsmounts refering to the subtrees of the same dentry tree/same (sub)tree/etc. Al, carefully not saying what he really thinks of inotify; completely unfit for repeating in public... -- 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
