the issue with nfs is the mount path
you need to mount `dirname file`
but if the file is a symlink this is where it's complex you need to resolv it
and mount the real path
I'd prefer to avoid it but nfs is like this
as you may just be allow to see a part of the host tree via nfs and the host
have different mountpoint
I use this feature for years on U-Boot before and now on the defaultenv
The nfs symlink was managed via the nfs command now that we use the fs on defaultenv-2
I need to have it too or it's never switch to the defaultenv-2 for me.
