I don't think mounts are allowed to traverse mountpoints. Have you
actually tried just exporting / -alldirs and seeing if everything below it
is available?
This is the (butchered) quote from the exports(5) manpage regarding
-alldirs:
The second is to specify the pathname of the root of the filesys-
tem followed by the -alldirs flag; this form allows the host(s) to
mount
at any point within the filesystem, including regular files if the
``-r''
option is used on mountd. The pathnames must not have any symbolic
links
in them and should not have any "." or ".." components. Mount points
for
a filesystem may appear on multiple lines each with different sets of
hosts and export options.
Hope this helps. I wish I knew more about NFS mounting; perhaps another
can fill in the intimiate details.
