specific needs, and total control over the management of ZFS. In the

I’m not specifically aware of ways that illumos systems have a different
parsing or semantic of sharenfs or sharesmb in particular, but I can see that
this is likely to be the case in the future
To respond to a few of the points on this thread:
1. If we need finer granularity than Linux/illumos/FreeBSD/OSX/Windows
(e.g. distribution vs operating system), it seems like that would fit into
this proposal. E.g. Substitute distro for OS in the suffix. Are there
specific examples of ways
The unmount prior to sharing is actually interesting… while it isn’t
particularly cross-platform, its very analogous to the problems we had with
dynamic reconfiguration, where we wanted to vacate I/O from an adapter prior to
removal. We generalized this into the notion of vacation a

Certainly going with user-defined properties would solve the problem of
safety but it comes at the cost of the administrative model. The
administrators would now be required to know the correct
vendor/distribution combination for each platform in order to change a
given property. Any existing
