I don't even know what a WD Mycloud Mirror is :) This is the intermediate box which you'd like to re-export the mounted file system? > > There are caveats, though (e.g. you might get duplicate inode numbers > > from the two file systems), described in the above man page. > > hmm, I'll have to see if that's a problem.

The man page isn't very clear, but I guess that NFS passes the inodes along and the client uses them for file identification (cache, what have you) and gets confused when the server's and the server's server inodes collide. But that's only a guess. Cheers -- t
