Unfortunately that is not an option cause /home and /var/www are on hdb1
too. Perhaps the 'mount --bind' thing that Bernard mentioned would be the
best way to do this. Anyone know if such things can be added to /etc/fstab
so the mounting would be done on reboot (not that the server needs
rebooting all that often - 184 day uptime atm)?

Hmm, anyone else like to comment?
