Hello.

The question is how containers iteracts with in-kernel nfsd?

For example, I want to export a directory over nfs from one
container (with separate network and filesystem namespaces)
and mount it on another container on the same host.  Or on
entirely different machine, for that matter.  At the same
time, other containers and maybe the host itself may want
to export other filesystems, and since the same filesystem
may be visible in several containers, the result might be
that the same directory is exported multiple times by
different containers...

Is it ever possible/supported/feasible?

Thanks!
