Bind-Mount a Directory in fstab

Storage & Disk · easy · solved in-browser (no VM needed) · 3 tiered hints

Write /etc/fstab: add ONE line that bind-mounts the existing directory /srv/shared onto /home/team/shared. The first field is the source path, the second the target, type none, and the options field must contain bind. Use dump 0 and pass 0. (Authored config, graded structurally — the engine isn't run here.)
