Folks,
When using sharenfs, do I really need to NFS export the parent zfs
filesystem *and* all of its children?  For example, if I have
/zfshome
/zfshome/user1
/zfshome/user1+n
it seems to me like I need to mount each of these exported filesystems
individually on the NFS client.  This scheme doesn't seem optimal.  If I
have tens of thousands of users, each with their own little ZFS
filesystem (necessary because ZFS doesn't do user-based quotas), I don't
want to NFS mount all of these filesystems on a single node.  Also, on
Linux, since anonymous filesystems like NFS do not have a block device
associated with them I can only have 255 of them mounted on a single host.

Am I missing something?
