Hi,

I have a directory /net/store. This directory is exported to all 
machines on my network.

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 ...]

Regards,
