They don't. '/', '/home' and '/home/steved' are not being exported. Only /home/steved/work is being exported in the namespace. So /home/steved/work can have properties such as acls, but the components in the path can't. If you wanted those to those type of properties on the path components, you would have to explicitly export them. > I thought the whole point of the > pseudo-filesystem was to just provide a namespace that bridges between > actual exported filesystems.

And you can. But all you are going to see is the exported directory, in this case 'work'. For example: say you mount '/' on /mnt and do an ls. This would be the tree: # ls /mnt ./ ../ home/ # ls /mnt/work/home ./ ../ steved/ # ls /mnt/work/home/steved ./ ../ work/ steved. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
