Re: NFS export subdirs on different file systems?

I have a sub-directory /net/store/photos. That too is exported to all
machines on my network.

What I want is that when I mount /net/store from another machine, the
contents of /net/store/photos too be visible. Is there any way I can do
that?

From the manpage and the handbook and Google etc I get the idea that it
might not be possible. Still, asking just in case there are any
round-about ways ... I would assume a scenario like this is common.

[I need /net/store/photos to be on a separate partition coz its encrypted
and stuff. And I'd rather have it appear as part of the /net/store
namespace ...]

Forgot to add: the two directories are imported "dynamically" on the
client side. So I can't just make fstab entries on the client side to
mount both points. I use AMD to mount /net/store when needed. And I can't
for the life of me figure how to make it mount /net/store/photos too when
needed -- I dont think that's possible(?) ...
I have that configuration working.
In /etc/exports:
/pub -alldirs client
/pub/video -alldirs client
On the client side, I didn't change anything to the configuration of AMD.
Simply cd'ing to /host/server/pub and then 'cd video' does the right thing. I
don't think -alldirs is really needed, but it's there for convenience.
