That's the way it works with NFSv4. You create an NFS root dir with a 
special entry in /etc/exports:
/nfsserver 10.0.0.0/8(fsid=0,rw,insecure,no_subtree_check,crossmnt)

and if you want other parts exported, create a dir there and mount it:
mkdir /nfsserver/data
mount --bind /mydata /nfsserver/data

This just takes the inodes from there and creates something like a view 
into this dir. From the client, you

mount -t nfs4 server:/data /serverdata
and you get the /nfsserver/data mounted there.

That's how it worked until NFSv3. I tried that also, didn't work either.
The whole thing worked before I reinstalled it (this server now runs 
virtualized within XENserver), and maybe that made some subdirs have 
inodes > 32bit.

How'd I do that?

Not my problem, everything 64bit here. I use the kernel-nfsd, and that's 
why I was wondering to have this problem.
