Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't see how this works. Mount points should not make a difference here. ".." for a mount point is exactly the same as in the middle of a file system. The only way there would be a difference would be if one of these directories were in fact a symlink, not a mount point. ".." for symlinks *doesn't* work. The reason we're always talking of mount points are stuff like the automounter, where you mount the fs in a different place and put a symlink in the place where you want to see it. And maybe some NFS weirdness wrt. symlinks. AFAICT, mount points *per se* are completely safe. So: where is the other symlink in this picture?
