I'm not sure if this is an nfs/autofs problem or zfs problem... But I'll try 
here first...

On our server, I've got a zfs directory called "cube/builds/izick/".  In this 
directory I have a number of mountpoints to other zfs file systems..   The 
problem happens when we clone a new zfs file system, say cube/builds/izick/foo, 
any client system that already have cube/builds/izick mounted, can see the new 
directory foo, but cannot see the contents.  It looks like a blank directory on 
the client systems, but on the server it would be fully populated with data..  
All the zfs file systems are shared.. Restarting autofs and nfs/client does 
nothing..  The only way to fix this is to unmount the directory on the client, 
which can be invasive to a desktop machine..

Could there be a problem because the zfs files systems are nested?  Is there a 
known issue with zfs-nfs interactions where zfs doesn't tell nfs properly that 
there has been an update, other than the just the mountpoint?  thanks...

Tony
