Correcting an old mistake

Ok, need help with the following. A long time ago and 89T later I would like to rationalize our junctions-path to what they should be, so I'm looking for suggestions short of moving a bunch of file to a lower directory. Here's how it was supposed to be created:

Volume Name Path mounted

base_volume /base_dir

vol01 /base_dir/vol01data

vol02 /base_dir/vol02data

...etc

With the share pointing at /base_dir

Well, a colleague configured it like this because he didn't quite understand nested junction-paths:

Volume Name Path mounted

base_vol /base_dir

vol01 /base_dir/vol01/ then there's a directory call vol01data where vol01's data is at

vol02 /base_dir/vol01/vol02data

vol03 /base_dir/vol01/vol03data

....

The share is pointing at /base_dir/vol01.

Is it possible to mount a volume's sub-directory to a junction-path? I want to mount vol01/vol01data to /base_dir/vol01data essentially. I can't find any options like that. there are no qtress here.

i'm afraid not, only volumes can be mounted. you can use other solutions like symbolic links.
