The NFSv4 pseudo file system is a virtual file system that provides a single root directory for all the exports on the NFS server. It allows the clients to see all the exports as a single file system, regardless of their physical locations on the server. The pseudo file system usually contains bind mounts of the directory trees to be exported, which are created using the mount --bind command. Bind mounts create a second mount point for an existing directory, without changing its attributes or permissions. This way, the pseudo file system can include directories from different file systems or partitions on the server123 References:
