So having it's own vfsmount > might make sense, but I don't get 'non-visible'. It would allow creating an exported tree without interferance with the local visible tree. Note that the local visible tree isn't global anymore either, and this allows to adjust what's exported through nfsd throug a specific interface instead of needing to get into nfsd namespace through some way. Think of listing the actually exported devices in /etc/exports instead of the indirection through fstab aswell. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
