I believe you will need to export (and nfs mount)
/home/ftp/pub/slack/install seperately since these are seperate
filesystems.
I ran into a similar learning experience a while back where I mounted a new
partition pretty deep into a dir tree to give it some more space, and could
not see the new partiton after mounting it. To add insult to injury, if I
created a flie in the directory seen from the client in to the tree below
the new partition mount, I could not see it from the server since there was
a partitio mounted over it. It effectively hid the file from the server.
Gave me a headache trying to figure out what the *#$^% was going on. As I
said, a learning experience :)
