I just tried this and with Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS it does __NOT__ work (as
expected). I'm really surprised that you can have
/MY_NFS_VOLUME/build_dir due to the fact that there are hard links
required between the /MY_NFS_VOLUME/build_dir and where your host Linux
rootfs resides.

So either we have a different NFS setup or cp -al behaves differently.

Do you happen to have an Ubuntu build machine to test? I'm currently on
the road so it's a bit tricky for me to try with Fedora.

Regards,

Robert
