Yes with Linux on the client side its readily reproducable. Every time I mount a zfs filesystem via NFS, .zfs/snapshot is empty. I have triend running find .zfs/snapshot and it gives no results, even though at least one snapshot exists. user2 at debian:~$ find .zfs/snapshot .zfs/snapshot .zfs/snapshot/at_creation user2 at debian:~$ find .zfs/snapshot -name README user2 at debian:~$ now if i force linux to read all the files on the filesystem, then it works as expected. user2 at debian:~$ ls -R .zfs/snapshot > /dev/null user2 at debian:~$ find .zfs/snapshot -name README .zfs/snapshot/at_creation/README user2 at debian:~$ James Dickens uadmin.blogspot.com > On Wed, Jul 12, 2006 at 04:34:04PM -0500, James Dickens wrote: > > On 7/11/06, Adam Leventhal <ahl at eng.sun.com> wrote: > > >I'm exporting a ZFS filesystem via nfsv4.
