Urgh. I can't recall whether the nfs-server package has this
behaviour. Perhaps Olaf is listening?

Anyhow: to make myself more clear. The problem will occur if you have
the server exporting more than one disk in one export tree:

For example:

server /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda1: /
/dev/hda2: /usr

server /etc/exports:
/ client

client then mounts: / on /mnt
This can cause files on /mnt and /mnt/usr to have the same inode
number...

Cheers,
Trond
