Maybe this is a way to >get around the 2GB limit on NFS2? *grin* Well, ya know, every time I installed FreeBSD from CDROM, it always told me that it was ``starting up a holographic shell''. Although this certainly sounds way cool, I never saw any 3D images jump out at me from my monitor, so for the longest time I had no idea what this meant. Finally, burried in some obscure and unhelpful place, I found out about ALT-F4 and finally got to see the ``holographic'' shell. Maybe being able to mount more than one remote file system at the exact same single mount point gives us a ``holographic'' file system! Way cool. This could have lots of practical implications. Think about merging changes from different source code version of a various software packages. You could just put the different version on different filesystems, mount them on top of one another, and then presto! A fully merged version would appear on your holographic filesystem! This could be the best thing since perforated toilet paper! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
