No, I'm not concerned with acls or kerberos at all... being as how it
is a small private lan.

I was told I could expect 20-25 percent faster transfer speeds.  That
would be enough to make it interesting since a fair bit of what would
be getting transferred would be quite large video and other graphic
formatted files.

 When I start to edit /etc/default/nfs as described in some of the
 directions I've found I see:

   # Moved to SMF. Use sharectl(1M) to manage NFS properties.

Ditto for /etc/default/autofs

But when I go to man sharectl, there is no mention whatever of autofs.

Looking at the status

  sharectl status autofs
   autofs  online client

Are there specific setting that autofs needs to be started with?  In
my case automounts would involve nfs shares being offered by a linux server
and smb (cifs) shares being offered by several windows platforms.

Running openindiana b 151a as vm guest on host win7

Where can I find an up to date detailed description of setting up nfs4
from scratch on a home lan zfs server with linux nfs4 clients.

I've turned up loads of stuff googling, way too much to paw through it
all.

I'm running openindiana and have posted a similar request on that
group.

Some of the directions I've found insist on setting up nis.  Do I
really need nis to be setup to share fs with nfs on a home lan?

This is a home lan with no real internet address on the inner network,
just a homemade 192.168.1.0/24 setup.  With a domain name of
`local.lan'.

I'm not sure how that effects how I setup nfs4.

I need the most basic guidance on this... I do not have a working
knowledge of nfs.

Hopefully there is some url online for real greenhorns that describes
how to do this in detail.

When I start to edit /etc/default/nfs as described in some of the
directions I've found I see:

   # Moved to SMF. Use sharectl(1M) to manage NFS properties.

So at least several of the guides I've run across are apparently out
of date and insist on editing /etc/default/nfs.

Hard to tell what guides hold water for modern solaris and offshoots.



If you can wait a few days, I can give you working configs for nfs4 on 
Centos to OI, since I have a few running that config at work.


I seem to recall that only a few settings are needed to make it all work.


Mark.
