[Linux-disciples] Mounting within another mount point

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

Is /var on the client also a share?  You can't mount a share within a
share.  You also can't have 'nested' NFS mounts--i.e., one system tries
to export a directory that itself has NFS mounts within.

Otherwise, there should be no problem with mounting /var/log/apache on
the client.  Even an existing directory can be replaced with mount.

What are the errors you're getting when you try to mount the share?
