I think you will find that it only works if the remote mount point itself is
exported and connected to. If the remote machine exports /, you connect to
it, and then try and navigate past /mnt/<anything>, with a partition mounted
there, knfs , and consequently the local machine, cannot see past the mount
point.
"
Let me subtly correct this. The problem probably only occurs when crossing
the mount point involves a change of file system. For example, you are in
ext2 and wish to cross over into a mounted vfat file system. knfs lacks the
ability to load a new file system on the fly (it is on the knfs to-do list).
My kernel has vfat as a module.
This has been true in all my problem cases. In my case, knfs is in use on
both machines, and the problem does not occur when the older user-space
nfs is used. [IMO, Torvalds should be taken out and shot - both for letting
this out, and for not documenting the critical reduction in the feature set]
