What's the problem of having the following in /etc/fstab? LABEL=3DPortage /usr/portage ext4 noatime,auto 0 2 LABEL=3DSource /usr/source ext4 noatime,auto 0 2 (Replace LABEL=3DPortage with /dev/sda7, if you want to.) Why do you need to bindmount or link the directories when you can mount them wherever you want?
