+That's not exactly what I said :)
+
+With old NFS versions (2/3), the server exports an actual filesystem 
+(/home, for instance), which is seen directly by clients with its actual 
+path (/home, here).
+
+With NFSv4, the server remaps its actual filesystem (/home, for 
+instance) in a pseudo-filesystem, which is seen by clients as a root 
+filesystem (/ here). Consider it as some kind of implicit chroot.
+
+With earlier implementations, you had to explicitely mark one of the 
+filesystem as the root one, and make sure every other filesystem was 
+reachable from it, using bind mount if needed. You've got some more 
+detailed explanations here:
+https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFS
+
+According to official NFS wiki, it seems this is no longer needed, and 
+than the implementation handle it automagically for you:

+Well, you'd better check if you're actually using NFSv4, and not a older 
+version, if you want optimal performances.
