[Gllug] A Couple of Conceptual Questions

[Dylan Brewis]

Hi gus, any comments:

Is it safe/advisable/common practice to mount a directory again in the same 
file system? e.g. /a and /b are both in the same mounted filesystem. /a is 
mounted into (onto?) /b/c, so that (I asume) /a and /b/c are physically 
identical.

What would happen if, in the above, /a was mounted on /a/c? i.e. recursively, 
or if a symlink generates a curcular reference?

Cheers,
Dylan
