Re: Proper way to share ZFS via NFS
which is why you shouldnt use /etc/exports for zfs datasets. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should eg dancing down the motorway at night in dark clothing is never a good idea, no matter how confident you are in your skills.

ZFS _encourages_ the use of its own toolset instead of those known from UFS. This includes the file system handling as well as backup/restore processes, mounting and exporting. ZFS has its own equivalents for those things. It's probably the best choice to use the _right_ tools here. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Proper way to share ZFS via NFS
always the zfs commands for zfs filesystems, otherwise why else would they be there?
