Currently the following setup causes failure: 1. /etc/exports: / *(rw,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,fsid=root) 2. /etc/nfs.conf: [exports] rootdir=/nfs_srv 3. Mounts: /root/fs1.ext4 on /nfs_srv type ext4 (rw,relatime) /root/fs2.ext4 on /nfs_srv/fs2 type ext4 (rw,relatime) 4. On the client: $ ls /nfs_client/fs2 ls: cannot open directory '/nfs_client/fs2': Stale file handle The problem is that next_mnt() misses the corner case that every mount is a sub-mount of "/". So it fails to see that /nfs_srv/fs2 is a mountpoint when the client asks for fs2 it and as consequence the crossmnt mechanism fails.
