Chapter 30. Sharing a mount on multiple mount points

As a system administrator, you can duplicate mount points to make the file systems accessible from multiple directories.

30.1. Types of shared mounts
Copia collegamento

There are multiple types of shared mounts that you can use. The difference between them is what happens when you mount another file system under one of the shared mount points. The shared mounts are implemented using the shared subtrees functionality.

The following mount types are available:

private

This type does not receive or forward any propagation events.

When you mount another file system under either the duplicate or the original mount point, it is not reflected in the other.

shared

This type creates an exact replica of a given mount point.

When a mount point is marked as a shared mount, any mount within the original mount point is reflected in it, and vice versa.

This is the default mount type of the root file system.

slave

This type creates a limited duplicate of a given mount point.

When a mount point is marked as a slave mount, any mount within the original mount point is reflected in it, but no mount within a slave mount is reflected in its original.

unbindable
This type prevents the given mount point from being duplicated whatsoever.

30.2. Creating a private mount point duplicate
Copia collegamento

Duplicate a mount point as a private mount. File systems that you later mount under the duplicate or the original mount point are not reflected in the other.

Procedure

  1. Create a virtual file system (VFS) node from the original mount point: 

    # mount --bind original-dir original-dir
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Mark the original mount point as private: 

    # mount --make-private original-dir
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Alternatively, to change the mount type for the selected mount point and all mount points under it, use the --make-rprivate option instead of --make-private.

  3. Create the duplicate: 

    # mount --bind original-dir duplicate-dir
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Example 30.1. Duplicating /media into /mnt as a private mount point

  1. Create a VFS node from the /media directory: 

    # mount --bind /media /media
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Mark the /media directory as private: 

    # mount --make-private /media
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Create its duplicate in /mnt: 

    # mount --bind /media /mnt
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. It is now possible to verify that /media and /mnt share content but none of the mounts within /media appear in /mnt. For example, if the CD-ROM drive contains non-empty media and the /media/cdrom/ directory exists, use: 

    # mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
# ls /media/cdrom
EFI  GPL  isolinux  LiveOS
# ls /mnt/cdrom
#
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  5. It is also possible to verify that file systems mounted in the /mnt directory are not reflected in /media. For example, if a non-empty USB flash drive that uses the /dev/sdc1 device is plugged in and the /mnt/flashdisk/ directory is present, use: 

    # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/flashdisk
# ls /media/flashdisk
# ls /mnt/flashdisk
en-US  publican.cfg
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

30.3. Creating a shared mount point duplicate
Copia collegamento

Duplicate a mount point as a shared mount. File systems that you later mount under the original directory or the duplicate are always reflected in the other.

Procedure

  1. Create a virtual file system (VFS) node from the original mount point: 

    # mount --bind original-dir original-dir
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Mark the original mount point as shared: 

    # mount --make-shared original-dir
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Alternatively, to change the mount type for the selected mount point and all mount points under it, use the --make-rshared option instead of --make-shared.

  3. Create the duplicate: 

    # mount --bind original-dir duplicate-dir
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Example 30.2. Duplicating /media into /mnt as a shared mount point

To make the /media and /mnt directories share the same content:

  1. Create a VFS node from the /media directory: 

    # mount --bind /media /media
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Mark the /media directory as shared: 

    # mount --make-shared /media
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Create its duplicate in /mnt: 

    # mount --bind /media /mnt
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. It is now possible to verify that a mount within /media also appears in /mnt. For example, if the CD-ROM drive contains non-empty media and the /media/cdrom/ directory exists, use: 

    # mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
# ls /media/cdrom
EFI  GPL  isolinux  LiveOS
# ls /mnt/cdrom
EFI  GPL  isolinux  LiveOS
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  5. Similarly, it is possible to verify that any file system mounted in the /mnt directory is reflected in /media. For example, if a non-empty USB flash drive that uses the /dev/sdc1 device is plugged in and the /mnt/flashdisk/ directory is present, use: 

    # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/flashdisk
# ls /media/flashdisk
en-US  publican.cfg
# ls /mnt/flashdisk
en-US  publican.cfg
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

30.4. Creating a slave mount point duplicate
Copia collegamento

Duplicate a mount point as a slave mount type. File systems that you later mount under the original mount point are reflected in the duplicate but not the other way around.

Procedure

  1. Create a virtual file system (VFS) node from the original mount point: 

    # mount --bind original-dir original-dir
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Mark the original mount point as shared: 

    # mount --make-shared original-dir
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Alternatively, to change the mount type for the selected mount point and all mount points under it, use the --make-rshared option instead of --make-shared.

  3. Create the duplicate and mark it as the slave type: 

    # mount --bind original-dir duplicate-dir
# mount --make-slave duplicate-dir
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Example 30.3. Duplicating /media into /mnt as a slave mount point

This example shows how to get the content of the /media directory to appear in /mnt as well, but without any mounts in the /mnt directory to be reflected in /media.

  1. Create a VFS node from the /media directory: 

    # mount --bind /media /media
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Mark the /media directory as shared: 

    # mount --make-shared /media
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Create its duplicate in /mnt and mark it as slave: 

    # mount --bind /media /mnt
# mount --make-slave /mnt
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. Verify that a mount within /media also appears in /mnt. For example, if the CD-ROM drive contains non-empty media and the /media/cdrom/ directory exists, use: 

    # mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
# ls /media/cdrom
EFI  GPL  isolinux  LiveOS
# ls /mnt/cdrom
EFI  GPL  isolinux  LiveOS
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  5. Also verify that file systems mounted in the /mnt directory are not reflected in /media. For example, if a non-empty USB flash drive that uses the /dev/sdc1 device is plugged in and the /mnt/flashdisk/ directory is present, use: 

    # mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/flashdisk
# ls /media/flashdisk
# ls /mnt/flashdisk
en-US  publican.cfg
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

30.5. Preventing a mount point from being duplicated
Copia collegamento

Mark a mount point as unbindable so that it is not possible to duplicate it in another mount point.

Procedure

  • To change the type of a mount point to an unbindable mount, use: 

    # mount --bind mount-point mount-point
# mount --make-unbindable mount-point
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Alternatively, to change the mount type for the selected mount point and all mount points under it, use the --make-runbindable option instead of --make-unbindable.

    Any subsequent attempt to make a duplicate of this mount fails with the following error: 

    # mount --bind mount-point duplicate-dir

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on mount-point,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail  or so
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Example 30.4. Preventing /media from being duplicated

  • To prevent the /media directory from being shared, use: 

    # mount --bind /media /media
# mount --make-unbindable /media
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
