NFS is not sufficient. it does not support file capabilites. using
recent operating systems you are unable to init a chroot onto nfs since
glibc and many other core os components switched over to using file
capabilits. but this chatter is all off topic on the fedora arm list.

Gordon I am considering moderating your posts to this list. they have
all been off topic to the list, which is Fedora ARM. there are other
lists to talk about your own agenda.
