Mount /mnt to /jffs >> HELP<<

Mount /mnt to /jffs >> SOLVED<<

I trying to mount /jffs to /mnt
In vsftpd I have a directory /jffs r/w that I would mount to "real" /jffs
/mnt/rt-ac68u/jffs to /jffs

Trying to use:
mount --bind olddir newdir
mount -- bind /mnt/rt-ac68u/jffs /jffs
Maby olddir newdir confuse me!?
After this call the same contents is accessible in two places, and that is preferred.

But can't get that to work. when I make a symlink inside /mnt/rt-ac68u/jffs then I get to /jffs with all directorys and files.

EDIT: When change, olddir newdir to, mount --bind /jffs /mnt/rt-ac68u/jffs it's start to work.
And use post-mount to store script and chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/post-mount



Need some advice here!

wouldn't it just a lot easier to use symbolic link for that purpose?

Yes, if I want point a file to another file.
A symbolic link is a "file" pointing to another file

I want to point /mnt/rt-ac68u/jffs which is a map to /jffs which also is a map.

Symlinks can also link to directories. If you do an ls dash ell (stupid Cloudflare), you will see symlinks for various directories.

Okey, I have tested alot of commands and this was first working.

This was one thing I tested, could not get that working. Can I have a little hint here?
ln -s /jffs /mnt/rt-ac68u/jffs

ls /
asus_jffs dev lib opt sbin usr
bin etc media proc sys var
cifs1 home mmc rom sysroot www
cifs2 jffs mnt root tmp

Is rt-ac78u a directory or a mounted disk? If it's a disk, then it probably won't work - cross-device links are usually unsupported, for security reasons. This is at least the case with Samba, which disables wide links support by default.

Also don't forget that all of /mnt will disappear after a reboot.

/mnt/rt-ac68u/jffs is a folder on mounted mnt on my usb2 usbdisk.
/jffs is "real" with script, config, syslog and traffic.db

On Samba this working I have setup smb.conf.add to point share to /jffs and I don't use wide links.
This is from vsftpd and I can't point to /jffs. Therefor I make a folder /mnt/rt-ac68u/jffs and trying to point to "real" /jffs.

As /mnt is a symlink from /tmp/mnt use this

mount /jffs /tmp/mnt/rt-ac68u/jffs
