smells like genuine nfs then

any point in seeing if other self-mounts are also squashed?  like say
h1:/var/tmp to h1:/baz, or h2:/var/tmp to h2:/baz

might help to shed light on the nfs ecosystem.

" I think I'm going to ask if there's a reason why we can't put the share
" on one of those storage servers instead.

this does have better symmetry.  it also unties h2 from h1's status.
