Hi,

I'm trying to access remote devices locally by mounting/exporting /dev
nodes over NFS. However, looks like the access requests are treated local
based on major minor numbers (e.g. "cat /mnt-dev-over-nfs/kmg" output is
same as "cat /dev/kmsg")

How can I change this behavior? and if it is at all feasible?

Thanks,
Riya
