You have something mounted at /mnt/gentoo. You want to mount something else at /mnt/gentoo - this will succeed, but what makes you think you will then be able to see the files from the first thing mounted there? Light bulb coming on yet? You have two things to mount, so mount them on *different*directories* and mv files around to your heart's content. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
