Background: I have an Ubuntu server sharing media to an Ubuntu client using NFS. Everything worked fine until I needed to mount a second folder on the client because the NFS mounts do not seem to traverse volumes. IP/Host is defined in hosts on both boxes.

Server:

/etc/exports:

/nfs_exports/Television     192.168.0.140(async,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=0,rw,nohide)
/nfs_exports/Movies 192.168.0.140(async,insecure,no_subtree_check,fsid=0,rw,nohide)
/etc/fstab:
/export/XBMC/Movies    /nfs_exports/Movies non bind    0   0
/export/XBMC/Television /nfs_exports/Television non bind    0   0

Client:

/etc/fstab: If I say this:

192.168.0.150:/    /home/cshoults/Ryoken/Television    nfs4    bg  0   0
192.168.0.150:/ /home/cshoults/Ryoken/Movies    nfs4    bg  0   0
Television mounts to both the Television and Movies folders.

If I say this:

192.168.0.150:/nfs_exports/Television  /home/cshoults/Ryoken/Television    nfs4    bg  0   0
192.168.0.150:/nfs_exports/Movies   /home/cshoults/Ryoken/Movies    nfs4    bg  0   0
I get an error that the file or folder does not exist.

If I say this:

192.168.0.150.nfs_exports/Television:/ /home/cshoults/Ryoken/Television    nfs4    bg  0   0
192.168.0.150.nfs_exports/Movies:/  /home/cshoults/Ryoken/Movies    nfs4    bg  0   0
It says no address associated with hostname.

I believe the problem is the fact that I have files on different volumes, multiple 2TB drives, that need to be accessible. I can mount /nfs_exports, but when I try to access the folders within it, it tells me the folders are stale and can't be accessed.
