The answer is I didn't RTFM carefully enough, and forgot to specify 'nfsd_flags=-e' and 'mountd_flags=-e' in my /etc/rc.conf. It's working now. Sorry for the unnecessary thread, but hopefully it'll help someone else searching for the same info in the future. ___ 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

The intended application here is a server hosting user home directories, where each user has their own ZFS filesystem. Having to list every user in /etc/fstab on every client is not really workable. With an OpenSolaris server, I can have the Linux clients mount /tank/home, and all the filesystems under /tank/home come along for the ride; I'm trying to duplicate this with a FreeBSD server. ___ 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
