Hi,

I want to mirror some files from /cdev/, which is the FreeBSD 5/6/7 devfs, 
in /dev/.

I don't want to create symbolic links, but how can I union mount another mount 
point on /dev ?

Currently I get an error saying it is not supported. Union mounting /dev/ 
on /cdev/ works however, but not the other way around.
