NFS is not going to be happy about exporting a nfs mounted file system -- actually it just won't do it. If some machine foo mounts
I ran into this when I was working with glusterfs earlier this year - in my case, the glusterfs was on the nodes of a cluster, and I wanted to allow it to be mounted from the head node, and not have to talk to all the nodes.
