Stop Also, despite claims in the man pages that lofs is supported, I can't seem to find mount_lofs. I want to use it to mount /var/slashtmp on /tmp. The man pages for the union and null filesystems would seem to indicate that they too could be used for this purpose, but I'm hesitant. I want to use lofs so that there's still a /tmp directory when /var isn't mounted -- a configuration I've used on Suns for years. Any information is welcome.
