create symbolic link across filesystems

[anonymouse1234]

I'm trying to share data between two servers. Only one server is mounted with the file system that contains the data; however, both servers are mounted to a common file system. For example /data1/ (contains the data) is mounted to server1 and /data2/ is mounted to server1 and server2 or

server 1 -------> /data1/ (Contains data)
|
|--------------> /data2/
|
server 2


There is a lot of data on /data1/ so it is not feasible to move it. Is there some way to link the data from /data1/ to /data2/ such that server 2 can see it.

I tried a symbolic link of the data from /data1/ to /data2/ however the files are not visible from server2.

Note: Sever 2 is not able to be mounted to /data1/

Thank you in advance for your help.

Once you have anyshare mounted on a server, you can export it via NFS to any other system. Here's a walkthrough I found via Google.
