There really isn't that much to it, just set snarenfs=true on the 
filesystem(s) you want to share.

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?

No.

Just make sure the file permissions are correct for clients to access 
the shares.

[osol-discuss] Where can I find a full Walk thru setting up nfs4 from scratch

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.

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So at least several of the guides I've run across are apparently out
of date and insist on editing /etc/default/nfs.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

Holy crap, that's awesome!  So it's like a joke we should all laugh at when
they call it the "first cloud os."  I just wasn't getting the satirical
humor before.  :-)

Yeah.. and if the customer wants to run Solaris 11 on any IaaS Cloud service,
say on Rackspace cloud, or on Amazon EC2, they can't do it,
because Solaris support contracts are required, and they're priced
per *physical* sockets/servers!

So it's impossible to use Solaris elsewhere than on Oracle hw/sw.

That's not how things should be in 2011. Oracle should be selling
support contracts per instance as well.. (for VM/cloud use).
