Are you saying I can "cfs mkm /foo/bar/widgets widgetvol" and the OS sees /foo/bar/widgets as a "normal" filesystem, but "controlled" by Coda? So from applications I access /foo/bar/widgets, assuming applicable ctokens, etc.? Then it was just my "old-school" thinking that caused me to make mountpoints under /coda/example.com/? Maybe they should *not* be there for any reason? And "ls -lR /foo/bar/widgets" and "ls -lR /coda/example.com/widgetvol" accomplish the same thing? Or am I completely off my rocker and the above is complete drivel? Can I complete another sentence in the form of a question? Yes! jerryReceived on 2005-10-19 10:52:33
