NFS issues - mountpoints within mountpoints
I currently have a server that is mounting a sm share to another box. I would now like to mount the directory just below this smbfs mountpoint on my laptop
root@server:~# mount -t smbfs -o ..... //anotherserver/foo /mnt/foo
root@laptop:~# mount server:/mnt /mnt/server
Both of these mounts work. On my laptop I can see the contents of the server:/mnt in /mnt/server. However, when I browse to the foo directory on my laptop, the directory appears empty from the perspective of my laptop. I receive no error messages on either end.
I assume that this is a "feature" of NFS that I cannot browse to another remote filesystem, possibly a feature that can be changed with a flag somewhere? The man page for exports gives no information about this problem however.
PS: Mounting the share on anotherserver is not an option due to SSH tunneling going on.
