Probably because it is easy to create new filesystems and clone them;
as
NFS only works per filesystem you need to edit dfstab every time when
you
add a filesystem. With the nfs property, zfs create the NFS export,
etc.
Either I'm missing something, or you are.
If I export /somedir and then I create a new zfs filesystem /somedir/foo/bar
then I don't have to mess around with dfstab, because it's a subdirectory of
an exported directory, it's already accessible via NFS. So unless I
misunderstand what you're saying, you're wrong.
no, it is not a subdirectory it is a filesystem mounted on top of the
subdirectory.
So unless you use NFSv4 with mirror mounts or an automounter other NFS
version will show you contents of a directory and not a filesystem. It
doesn't matter if it is a zfs or not.
