Description

When I mount a folder, previously shared using NFS (I use the command "mount [hostname]:[/remote folder] [localFolder], The is executed without any issue but the local folder (local mount point) does not reflect the files which are in the remote one.
For example, If I have a file "foo.txt" in the remote machine, this file will not show up in the local mounted one.
