I am migrating my system from Debian 32 bit to Debian 64 bit. It is installed on /dev/sda2
, so I created /dev/sda3
, installed the new system there, synched installed packages and configuration files from /etc
and used bind mounts to mount /data
and /home
from the old system into the new system. So far so good.
Now before I do the final switch, I want to use the system for some weeks. The only thing that is missing is /root
, which I rsynched into the new partition. I'd rather have it a bind mount too, but I'm hesitant with this one. So the question:
- Can
/root
be a bind mount, or are there going to be problems? - What happens between system start and the mount operation, could there be problems?
