Hi, I was trying to export from a non-global zone. I currently have some NFS shares exported from a FreeBSD 10 box but I was hoping to use that hardware to run SmartOS on as it would allow me to more easily run virtual machines (LX and KVM) as well as serve up file systems to the various Linux / Windows clients I use.
I know that SmartOS is not ideally suited to the task (storage server) but as I said I only have 2 servers. Hope that makes sense.

In that, smartos will not allow a non-global zone to export it's files sytem, or that it will not allow a non-global zone to mount an exported file system? Or, I guess, either?
