Is it possible to view the contents of an underlying NFS mount without unmounting the NFS content?
- by Brent
I have a shared directory on a server - let's call it /home/shared - which is mounted with content from another server via nfs.
When it is unmounted /home/shared is supposed to be empty - however, running du -x on the directory indicates that it is not empty.
I cannot unmount the NFS content to inspect the mount point, since it is in use by others.
Is there any way that I can view/edit the contents of the actual mount point (not the NFS content) while leaving the NFS content mounted for others to use?
