I'm trying to mount a single hard disk slice in two separate locations (one location being r/o and another being r/w), and having a hard time figuring out how to do it. I've tried issuing multiple mount calls, but I get a "Device busy" error. I've also checked out the mount(8) series of manpages and haven't found anything. I've also thought about trying to create a separate device node for this purpose, a la mknod, but I wanted to be sure that won't do anything overly harsh to the system before I attempt it. Any thoughts or suggestions? -- Alan Gerber
