Message-ID: <3964@lynx.UUCP> Date: 24 Jun 88 19:08:24 GMT Reply-To: m5@lynx.UUCP (Mike McNally) Distribution: na Organization: Lynx Real-Time Systems Inc, Campbell CA Lines: 12 Is it true that the root file of a file system can be a regular file? It doesn't seem like mkfs can make such a thing, but I can't see anything about mount(2) that would disallow it. If this is true, where's it documented? I am specifically interested in 4.[23], but if SV has this feature I'd like to know. -- Mike McNally of Lynx Real-Time Systems uucp: lynx!m5 (maybe pyramid!voder!lynx!m5 if lynx is unknown)
