Ok, I learned something here, that I want to share: If you create a new zfs filesystem as a subdir of a zfs filesystem which is exported via nfs and shared via cifs ... The cifs clients see the contents of the child zfs filesystems. But, as Robert said above, nfs clients do not see the contents of the child zfs filesystem. So, if you nest zfs filesystems inside each other (I don't) then the sharenfs property of a parent can be inherited by a child, and if that's your desired behavior, it's a cool feature. For that matter, even if you do set the property, and you create a new child filesystem with inheritance, that only means the server will auto-export the filesystem. It doesn't mean the client will auto-mount it, right? So what's the 2nd half of the solution? Assuming you want the clients to see the subdirectories as the server does. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
