NFS within a Jail?!

[blackfriar]

Well, yes. That was my immediate decision. Just to find an
alternative/temporary way and to wait for something more reliable and
standard.
I don't really have the critical need to proceed with such a setup right
now and it's good to know a little bit more about the status of such a
feature and what others think and tried/managed to do about it.

I really wanna thank you all for your valuable inputs.
Have a good rest of the weekend.
