Public bug reported:

On my server the share is "Multimedia" (/media/Multimedia) *but* the
actual physical drives are mounted to subfolders. "Audio" and "Video"
(/media/Multimedia/Audio and so on)

Now when I was using SAMBA mounting "Multimedia" worked just fine. I saw
all the subfolders. In NFS I needed to define those subfolders in
exports as well as add "crossmnt" to the root share entry "Multimedia".

exports file:
    * /media/Multimedia 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check 
,crossmnt)
    * /media/Multimedia/Audio 
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check )
    * /media/Multimedia/Video 
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check )

fstab:
    * <serverIP>:/media/Multimedia    /media/Multimedia    nfs    defaults    0 0

The issue is one of the subfolders also gets auto-mounted as if it were
defined in the users fstab. It is not. So instead of just mounting
"Multimedia" I also have "Audio". Even though its a subfolder and not
defined in my fstab.

If I umount the drives then "sudo mount -a" "Audio" disappears. Though
editing and saving the fstab brings back "Audio".

I'd like to note the Gutsy boxes do not exhibit this behavior. This is
why I think this is a gnome-vfs issue as gutsy doesn't use it.
