I have an export on system A -- lets call it /data

System B does an nfs mount of A:/data on say /mnt/A

All is well.

Now lets say that I am running out of partition space on A:/data

So I add more disk space on another device, lets call it A:/data1

But I want to be able to access it under A:/data as if it was underneath /data in the first place on both system A and System B.

1) Now I know that this won't work:

on system A: mount /data1 on /data/mymountpoint

system B: only shows /mnt/A/mymountpoint

2) will this work?

on system A: do a ln -s /data1 /data/mymountpoint

will system B: see what is on /data1 ?

Or is there a better way?
