mount --bind directory mountpoint.
e.g. mount --bind /media/largerdrive/tim/tmp /tmp
This would mount the directory /media/largerdrive/tim/tmp over /tmp.
So say I had a large drive for my use, and wanted to use a folder on
it as my /tmp, then the above would do that. Basically, mounting a
folder in a another location, instead of mounting a drive.

For NFS, I'm hoping doing this means my /home/public would be a
mountpoint, so exporting that with all_squash will actually work with
nohide.
