    SubjectAutomount FS re-exported via NFS fails
    I have a situation where I have a set of file systems that are automounted by 
    the automount file system in 2.4.x under /misc. I'd like to make those file
    systems available via NFS from machine.

    In the ideal case, I would have something like this in /etc/exports:
    /misc 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 (rw)

    Thus, a client machine could mount server:/misc as /somedir, and then cause a
    filesystem to be mounted by accessing /somedir/some_auto_filesystem.

    However, that doesn't work, as the NFSD seems to want to do a getfh() IOCTL on
    the auto file system, and autofs doesn't seem to support that IOCTL.

    (I can work around this by explicitly exporting each possible file system under
    /misc, and allowing clients to mount them directly, but this isn't the greatest
    solution.)

    First, is anybody working on this? If not, I may try my hand at it.

    Second, if nobody is working on it, anybody have pointers on a good file system
    to model a getfh() for autofs on?
