Hi Cassandra,
The mirror mount feature allows the client to access files and dirs that
are newly created on the server, but this doesn't look like your problem
described below.
My guess is that you need to resolve the username/permission issues
before this will work, but some versions of Linux don't support
traversing nested mount points.
I'm no NFS expert and many on this list are, but things to check are:
- I'll assume that hostnames are resolving between systems since
you can share/mount the resources.
- If you are seeing "nobody" instead of user names, then you need to
make sure the domain name is specified in NFSMAPID_DOMAIN. For example,
add company.com to the /etc/default/nfs file and then restart this
server:
# svcs | grep mapid
online May_27 svc:/network/nfs/mapid:default
# svcadm restart svc:/network/nfs/mapid:default
- Permissions won't resolve correctly until the above two issues are
cleared.
- You might be able to rule out the Linux client support of nested
mount points by just sharing a simple test dataset, like this:
# zfs create mypool/test
# cp /usr/dict/words /mypool/test/file.1
# zfs set sharenfs=on mypool/test
and see if file.1 is visible on the Linux client.
Thanks,
Cindy

Thanks for getting back to me!
I am using Solaris 10 10/09 (update 8)
I have created multiple nested zfs directories in order to compress some
but not all sub directories in a directory.
I have ensured that they all have a sharenfs option, as I have done with
other shares.
This is a special case to me, since instead of just
#zfs create pool/mydir
and then just using mkdir to make everything thereafter, I have done:
#zfs create mypool/mydir/
#zfs create mypool/mydir/dir1
#zfs create mypool/mydir/dir1/compressed1
#zfs create mypool/mydir/dir1/compressedir2
#zfs create mypool/mydir/dir1/uncompressedir
i had hoped that i would then export this, and mount it on the client
and see:
#ls /mnt/mydir/*
dir:
compressedir1 compressedir2 uncompressedir
and the files thereafter.
however what i see is :
#ls /mnt/mydir/*
dir:
My client is linux. I would assume we are using nfs v3.
I also notice that the permissions are not showing through correctly.
The mount options used are our "defaults" (hard,rw,nosuid,nodev,intr,noacl)
I am not sure what this mirror mounting is? Would that help me?
Is there something else I could be doing to approach this better?
Thank you for your insight.

Cassandra,
Which Solaris release is this?
This is working for me between an Solaris 10 server and a
OpenSolaris client.
Nested mount points can be tricky and I'm not sure if you are looking
for the mirror mount feature that is not available in the Solaris 10
release, where new directory contents are accessible on the client.
See the examples below.
Thanks,
Cindy
On the server:
# zpool create pool c1t3d0
# zfs create pool/myfs1
# cp /usr/dict/words /pool/myfs1/file.1
# zfs create -o mountpoint=/pool/myfs1/myfs2 pool/myfs2
# ls /pool/myfs1
file.1 myfs2
# cp /usr/dict/words /pool/myfs1/myfs2/file.2
# ls /pool/myfs1/myfs2/
file.2
# zfs set sharenfs=on pool/myfs1
# zfs set sharenfs=on pool/myfs2
# share
- /pool/myfs1 rw ""
- /pool/myfs1/myfs2 rw "
On the client:
# ls /net/t2k-brm-03/pool/myfs1
file.1 myfs2
# ls /net/t2k-brm-03/pool/myfs1/myfs2
file.2
# mount -F nfs t2k-brm-03:/pool/myfs1 /mnt
# ls /mnt
file.1 myfs2
# ls /mnt/myfs2
file.2
On the server:
# touch /pool/myfs1/myfs2/file.3
On the client:
# ls /mnt/myfs2
file.2 file.3

I was wondering if there is a special option to share out a
set of nested
directories? Currently if I share out a directory with
/pool/mydir1/mydir2
on a system, mydir1 shows up, and I can see mydir2, but
nothing in mydir2.
mydir1 and mydir2 are each a zfs filesystem, each shared with
the proper
sharenfs permissions.
Did I miss a browse or traverse option somewhere?
