Can I export directory tree with another mounted point in it ?
Hi, I have an nfs server and a bunch of diskless clients... I'm sharing mounte partition on /home. Now I moved some subdirectories to another mounted partition that is mounted on /home/data and symlinked one directory to it : so /home/public is symlinked to /home/data/public . Now on server I can see content of /home/public, but on diskless clients that directory is empty.... Can I export directory tree with another mount points in it - I'd like to do this cause of limitations of SW I'm running (would have to manually enter changes if not done in this way) ? Any other easy solution ? Thanks in advance, regards, Rob.

In my experience no! You can however export the mount point separately and mount it on the client in the place where you want it (i.e under an existing mount point). Everything then behaves as you want.
Any other easy solution ?
Thanks in advance,
