I am using NFS to share across my network. One thing I can't solve is this, for example: I share my /home folder. This folder contains links to places outside /home, specifically drives mounted in /mnt.

How can I share /home but specify folders I do not want shared within /home?

Hi All, I've tried to make this as precise as possible, without getting long-winded, but also wanted to give as much detail as possible.
