Not all of my exported directories are mountpoints of the underlying
VFS of the server. Some are, though.

I could try that for now.

Are you sure these are invalidated automatically, especially through
nfs-utils? If the kernel cache never expires, it should consequently
never ask for it, so nfs-utils would not be involved. Am I missing
something?
