System Background: I am running CentOS 7 in a VM (in VirtualBox) on a host computer running Windows 10. My /dev/sda is on an SSD and then I have three 1TB HDDs /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and /dev/sdd configured into a RAID 5 drive called /dev/md5. The /dev/md5 is formatted as ext4 and is mounted to /raid5.
I wanted to bind mount both /home and /var to sub-directories in my RAID 5, /dev/md5.
The following steps worked just fine for /home:
mkdir /raid5/home
rsync -av /home/*/raid5 /home
mount --bind /raid5/home /home
nano /etc/fstab
/raid5/home /home none bind 0 0
I then restart CentOS and it boots no problem. I check df -aTh and both /raid5/home and /home show mounted to /dev/md5.
I follow the exact same process to bind mount /var and /raid5/var and upon reboot I can't even get to the login screen. Same exact commands were used, just substitute /var everywhere you see /home.
