Can I return multiple redirects out of one symlink?

Can I return not one but more than one redirect out of a
symlink resolution in my io_open()? If so, how?

Thanks in advance!

I assume this means that the answer is “no” :slight_smile: ?

That’s fine – just wanted to confirm. Is there any other
way of doing what I want? Effectively, I want to have
multiple union’d directories hanging off a symlink…

I don’t think you can.

You HAVE to have a manager to mange the “union’d directories” into one
mount point, and symlink to that mount point.

The manager could be the same manager who taking care of the symlink,
just it has to handle the IO_CONNECT twice.

Why do you want it to be a “symlink” at first place ?

<Looks at feet, starts whistling, mumbles>Oh, no particular reason :slight_smile:

Captive Filesystem; one of the “types”. That’s all I can say at
this point; you’ll just have to wait for the book :slight_smile: :slight_smile:
