I have done that before with non-iso filesystem in a file,
it has been a while though.
One thing to remember is you have to exportfs -r again after you
have mounted the ISO, otherwise only the underlying empty directory
is being exported from the original exportfs run.
Thanks for the reply
I have now tried this but it failed :-(
I will try "doing it properly?" with a separate export
and maybe "nohide" when my server is available to
play with.
