Cindy, Thanks for the response. You are saying that by re-sharing the 3 descendant systems, then the parent will pick up the descendant shares ?
Could you tell me how best to re-share the 3 descendant systems ? Do you mean I should just zfs set sharesmb=off tank/documents/Jan zfs set sharesmb=on tank/documents/Jan and that will accomplish the re-sharing ? Sounds kind of strange that re-sharing descendant shares will allow the top group "see" descendant shares pre-share. But if thats what it takes, certainly willing to try once I know what I need to do.
