Directory mirroring

Directory mirroring

[Daniel Schultz]

Hi everyone,

my boot partition is mounted to /boot/. Now, I want to make it 
accessible in /mnt/ as mmc or emmc, depending to the bootsource. Sadly, 
ln can only create symlinks for files and two mounts for one device 
seems not to work.

Are there other ways to mirror a file system?

Not that I know of. You could implement directory links, but why do you
want to have it accessible under /mnt in the first place?

I think it would be good, if all mountable boot devices are accessible 
in /mnt, but the boot source still remains at /boot.
1) All boot scripts can use /mnt
2) Barebox environment always lies in /boot
