Not in a useful fashion, no. There is no way to tell the difference between a Linux application searching for something that "should" be in /compat/linux and something that "shouldn't". It could fall though. If, for example, an app tries to open /usr/share/dict/words, the kernel could try /compat/linux/usr/share/dict/words, fail, and then try /usr/share/dict/words before giving up. I believe this would be genuinely useful behaviour. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
