You have asked this question before. There is nothing new to add to
the previous mailing threads.

There is no support for Solaris style subfiles on any Linux
filesystem, including NFS. I'm not aware of anyone having any plans to
add such support after Reiser4 died. There is no indication that POSIX
is anywhere near ready to accept O_XATTR or any other interfaces to
support subfiles.
