I'm looking at implementing home directories on ZFS. This will be about 400 users, each with a quota. The ZFS way of doing this AIUI is create one filesystem per user, assign them a quota and/or reservation, and set sharenfs=on. So I tried it: # zfs create local-space/test # zfs set sharenfs=on local-space/test # zfs create local-space/test/foo # zfs create local-space/test/foo/bar # share - /export/local-space/test rw "" - /export/local-space/test/foo rw "" - /export/local-space/test/foo/bar rw "" All good so far. Now, I understand that with nfs in general, the child filesystems will not be mounted, and I do see this behavior on Linux. If I specify nfs4, the children are mounted as I expected: # mount -t nfs4 server:/export/local-space/test /mnt/ # cd /mnt/ # ls foo # ls foo bar Okay, all is well. Try the same thing on a Solaris client, though, and it doesn't work: # mount -o vers=4 ds3:/export/local-space/test /mnt/ # cd mnt # ls foo # ls foo <nothing> On the Linux machine, nfsstat -m shows that the child filesystems have each been mounted independently, but on the Solaris machine only the 'test' filesystem get mounted. nfsstat -m shows it's mounted with nfsv4, but none of the child filesystems are automatically mounted.
So, my questions are: * Are there options I can set server- or client-side to make Solaris child mounts happen automatically (i.e., match the Linux behavior)? * Will this behave with automounts? What I'd like to do is list /export/home in the automount master file, but not all the child filesystems. * Is there a simpler way to accomplish this task in general without resorting to UFS? Any input is welcome. I'm not subscribed to nfs-discuss, so please CC me if you respond on that list. Thanks!
