A quick google found http://docs.1h.com/Bind_mounts user842313 2012-01-18T16:25:33+08:002012-01-18T16:25:33+08:00 Yes, as Christopher said, a bind mount will work. But I think it will work only with directories and not at file level. If you need file links you can use hard links but it will only work within a Linux ext filesystem (don't know if other fs support it) See Here for a description of the difference between hard and soft links.
