Thanks for the report. |

Please file this as a bug, as that's easier to track thru to a fix than a |
15 |
mailing list post that's all too easily read and forgotten about. |
16 |
Remember, gentoo's a community distro run by volunteers. Sometimes, |
17 |
"life happens". Regardless of whether that's a new baby or a new job or |
18 |
a death in the family, or just more work than time, sometimes it's hard |
19 |
to deal with a bug immediately, and having it filed as a bug instead of |
20 |
only posted to a mailing list, helps keep the report from getting lost |
21 |
and thus never fixed. |
22 |

https://bugs.gentoo.org |
24 |
|
25 |
But to make that bug easier to follow and fix when you do file it... |
26 |
|
27 |
Please include a link to the page (there's a URL field in the bug, and |
28 |
you can put the other one in a comment), and list the exact paragraph or |
29 |
code number if possible. |
30 |
|
31 |
The mount(8) manpage lists the --rbind olddir newdir option, so it should |
32 |
be supported in general, which is why I went to check the context in |
33 |
which it was used... and found no information about where I should look! |
34 |
Perhaps it was a typo or something, or maybe the instruction is indeed |
35 |
wrong in context, but it's pretty difficult to check if I don't know |
36 |
where to look. =:^\ |
37 |
|
38 |
Anyway, thanks for the report. Please do file a bug with a link, etc. |

(PS: Posting in HTML isn't really ideal. When you do post to mailing |
41 |
lists, turning off HTML and using just plain text is appreciated as not |
42 |
everyone uses an HTML capable mail reader and raw HTML coding is ugly and |
43 |
hard to read. Thanks.) |
