NFS mounting a filesystem with mounts
From MyWiki
Looks like every mount sub-point must be exported by the NFS server in order to be visible for clients. In the situation above the /etc/exports file should look like the following: /srv *(rw,fsid=0,nohide,no_subtree_check) /srv/foo *(rw,nohide,no_subtree_check) Then, importing /srv on the client with option -t nfs will make both /srv and /srv/foo properly available. edit by OP this line /srv/foo *(rw,fsid=0,nohide,no_subtree_check) has worked in my case instead of /srv/foo *(rw,nohide,no_subtree_check)
The above did not actually work !!
