BTW, the "exports" man page (dated from March 2005), states that 
"nohide" and "crossmnt" options don't operate well when there is 2 files 
with the same inode number on different mounted filesystem. Is this 
still true (maybe there is somewhere a list of known bugs) ? Is it now 
possible to use "nohide" or "crossmnt" on subnet exports ?
