Example 2.8. Moving an Existing NFS Mount Point
Imagine that you have an NFS storage that contains user directories. Assuming that this storage is already mounted in
/mnt/userdirs/, as root, you can move this mount point to /home by using the following command:
~]# mount --move /mnt/userdirs /home
To verify the mount point has been moved, list the content of both directories:
~]#ls /mnt/userdirs~]#ls /homejill joe
