I will elaborate. I further noticed that I already reported a very related behaviour (misc/3980) a long time ago. I had forgotten about that ;-) The abstract should better read: On an NFS-server, I mount some filesystem from another NFS server somewhere into a filesystem that is currently in part exported to a third system (Client), and accessed from there. Comment: I agree that this is a rather unusual scenario which should not happen in production environment, as it reflects a bad site planning. It does happen in experimental environments, due to the habit of creating just one large /usr Filesystem, which will contain lots of different data. Now, as I recently found out, the vinum subsystem seems to suit well as a LVM and eases the task to maintain a well-structured directory- tree even on-the-fly in experimental scenarios. So, possibly, we might decide that the above-said construct is of not enough practical relevance to have to work flawlessly, and therefore close both of the PMRs.
