This patch series outlines an approach to address the problem. Crossing mounts does not work for two reasons: 1. As soon the NFS client (on the re-exporting server) sees a different filesystem id, it installs an automount. That way the other filesystem will be mounted automatically when someone enters the directory. But the cross mount logic of KNFS does not know about automount. This patch series addresses the problem and teach both KNFSD and the exportfs logic of NFS to deal with automount. 2. When KNFSD detects crossing of a mount point, it asks rpc.mountd to in= stall a new export for the target mount point. Beside of authentication rpc.mou= ntd also has to find a filesystem id for the new export. Is the to be exporte= d filesystem a NFS share, rpc.mountd cannot derive a filesystem id from it = and refuses to export. In the logs you'll see errors such as: mountd: Cannot export /srv/nfs/vol0, possibly unsupported filesystem or f= sid=3D required To deal with that I've changed rpc.mountd to use generate and store fsids= [1]. Since the kernel side of my changes did change for a long time I decided = to try upstreaming it first. A 3rd iteration of my rpc.mountd will happen soon.
