Ewww... 10,000 extra mounts is _not_ what I had in mind! (can Linux
even support that much? Even if so, it would seriously bog stuff
down...)
Then again, there isn't much use for recursion anyway. Although
it would be fun to play with...
On the other hand,
$ cd /home/test/
$ ln -s /home/test again
$ ls /home/test/again/again/again/again/again/
again
$ echo "Ha."
Ha.
Have fun with bash's tab autocomplete (cd /home/test/<tab><tab><tab><tab>...)
