Re: what's the meaning of lofs?
The LOFS can be used to create a new virtual file system with a different alternate path.
For example a lofs can be created for / under /tmp/newroot so that the entire hierarchy can be used under /tmp/newroot.
This can be useful in hiding the / file system mounted as read only or as other options.

Re: what's the meaning of lofs?
Whcih means you can mount a directory or filesystem on the same machine with an alternate name.

LOFS -- Loopback file system
This is used to create a new virtual file system with a different alternate path.

Re: what's the meaning of lofs?
For example:
1.Creating new directory, bigger than old:
#mkdir /aux/new_local
2.Move all files to this new directory:
#cd /old_local
#find . | cpio -dumplv /aux/new_local
3.Remove all files from old dir:
#rm -r /old_local/*
#mount -F lofs /aux/new_local /old_local
4.Adding in /etc/fstab, if needed:
/aux/new_local /oldlocal lofs rw,suid 00
