Hi,

I have one addition on top of Eric's response

For example, many of the initial concerns about peer mount were on the 
implications of synchronizing objects across distributed systems.  (I.e., 
Eventual consistency is not appropriate when attempting to manage some type of 
objects.)  Alias mount shouldn't have this issue.

<ALEX> So, yes, alias mount is a special and simple case.  Perhaps the most 
relevant aspect to characterize this is that the authoritative owner in alias 
mount is the same Netconf server, whereas in peer mount authoritative owners 
will be different.  For this reason, peer mount will be better suited for 
read-only views.  </ALEX>
