Hello,

We have little discussion about is it dangerouos that firewall
mounts some partitions form inside (protected) hosts. I have 
feeling that that maneuver is dangerous (jeopardize security of
inside hosts) but can't explain how. 

Is it really dangerous to do that kind of thing (firewall mount
partition of inside host)?

Gaus
