It is also because the portage tree is reiserfs and distfiles ext4. |

| 22 |
Actually, it is like it : |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
/usr |
| 25 |
/portage -> reiserfs | both shared through nfs |
| 26 |
/distfiles -> ext4 | |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
/usr |
| 29 |
/portage/distfiles | acces on an nfs |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
When you mount a filesystem B inside an other one A and share the root A |
| 32 |
through nfs, it seems you acces (from nfs clients) to the A and the directory |
| 33 |
under which is mounted B, but not B itself. |

Do you understand me ? |
