NFS mounts and jails

[Brian Reichert]

I've successfully been exploring using NFS mounts within a jail.

It's clear to me that a host box running multiple jails needs to
expose that NFS mount to each jail.

As far as I know, that means that NFS partition has to be mounted
(redundantly?) for each jail, even in (in my case), they'll all be
access in the the same way (eg. read-only).

This seems to be that you'll quickly run into some effective upper
limit as to how many NFS mounts a FreeBSD machine can handle (I'm
using 4.7-R for my current experiments.)

So, my question(s):

- is my assertion correct; that is, do I need to redundantly mount
  the same NFS partition for each jail for each jail to access it?

- if not, is there a mechanism for jails sharing a read-only NFS
  mountpoint?

Thanks for any advice...
