Really? Surely if I mount an NFS share on my client it should show all
the sub-directories below it regardless of whether they are normal
directories or mounted partitions.
Are you saying that I have to mount the NFS share and then mount an NFS
shared partition below it? In fact I would be mounting one NFS share
below another, even though it was (on the server) itself mounted below the
same share.
The server looks like:
venus://home/PICTURES/D70
I want the client to look like:
home/PICTURES/D70
Are you saying I have to mount venus://home/PICTURES/ as
home/PICTURES/ and then mount the server
partition currently mounted as venus://home/PICTURES/D70 as
home/PICTURES/D70 below it?
