Can pcnfs mount an nfs mounted directory? My testing so far indicates
that it can't be done. For example, my fstab file has something like:
node:/usr/joe /usr/joe nfs
node:/home /home nfs
I have:
/usr
/home
in my exports file. When I attempt to mount /home (using PC-NFS) I get:
idmnt public <ip.addr> /home e: pcnfs myname
ERROR: Can't get remote file system attributes (error = 70)
File system NOT mounted.
I can mount /usr, but /usr/joe shows empty even though it contains files
on node:
Can this be done?
