What doesn't fit in this, though, is the fact that the other mount points are displayed as directories and I can work on them (just in some cache it seems). This is very confusing as you never know if you are working on the real thing or not. I would have thought that the coders would have taken care of that. So, maybe my theory is not correct. But the nohide option doesn't fix the problem either.
I never tried the nohide as it said it could be dangerous to some clients as was not compatible with wild card exports which we were using.
So we mount /, /mnt/disk1, /mnt/disk2, ....
