If you mount server:/nfs on another host, it will not include server:/nfs/foo1 or server:/nfs/foo2. Some nfs clients (notably Solaris's) will attempt to mount the foo1 & foo2 datasets automatically, so it looks like you've exported everything under server:/nfs. Linux clients don't behave in the same fashion, you'll have to separately mount all the exports.

Hi Brendan,

I believe this is incorrect - Solaris Nevada has supported
this automatic subshare mounting (we call it "mirror mounts")
since build 77, but it's not in Solaris 10, while I believe
Linux has had it for a longer time.  Is this not what you
see on current Linux?

On debian linux (lenny), the nfs4 client automatically mounts subshares, but the nfs3 client doesn't (May not be right in all cases, just my experience).

Best regards,
Stefan
