Not if you're renaming across filesystem boundaries it's not (to a point under a filesystem that doesn't have remotely enough space to allow putting it on that fs instead). This is the sort of thing people used to use symlinks to .-named directories in other filesystems for: I was hoping I could use mount --move instead, but it looks like mount --bind of a .-named directory will have to do. (In practice it'll do perfectly well, but it still seems less flexible than I thought Linux was.) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
