The transivity isn't in the control of the person this touches an old nerve: NFS didn't (at least in Sun's implementation). indeed, it limited exports to a physical file system, so that every machine needed to know the mounting hierarchy of every other. scales up well, as you can well imagine! anyhow, to get transitivity, you need to work at it (patches possibly available on request, if i can find them in my archive) and even then it doesn't work completely (but it's much better than nothing), until you patch the clients... one annoying thing is that it never became part of the traditional Jumbo Patch. still, you're right: NFS could have done that, and perhaps the suenix re-implementations do.
