Quick question regarding nfs (or other filesystems) inside a jail.  
As far as I can tell, it isn't possible to mount nfs shares while 
inside a jail.  Is this correct?  Is there any way around this 
limitation?  A way to browse network shares without mounting?  Or 
some such trickery?  Thanks.

When a Jail needs to access a NFS mounted device I use to mount it on 
the hosting machine (the system outsite the jail where jail is runned 
from) in any mount-point, so I mount_nullfs inside the selected jails, 
say, mount_nullfs /nfs/backup/200.200.100.40 
/usr/jail/200.200.100.40/mnt/nfs/backup;

The problem is that you cant do it if you are not the jails admin (ie, 
you dont have full access to the jails hosting system).

Thanks for your input.  I've noticed that nfs server is runing nfsv4.  
This might shed new light on the problem.
