Hi,
I have a storage system that is exporting many directories to multiple 
clients resulting in a lot of mountpoints (156) on each client. What I'm 
trying to do is to create a single directory on the server and then use 
mount --bind to mount all the different directories (which are stored on 
different LVM volumes) into this single export directory and finally export 
this directory to the clients.
Now the exports man-page mentions the crossmnt option but it also mentions 
that it cannot be used if I want to export the directory to multiple 
clients. Is there another way to accomplish something like this?

Regards,
   Dennis
