Let's say I have a zfs called "pool/backups" and it contains two zfs'es, "pool/backups/server1" and "pool/backups/server2"
I have sharenfs=on for pool/backups and it's inherited by the sub-zfs'es. I can then nfs mount pool/backups/server1 or pool/backups/server2, no problem. If I mount pool/backups on a system running Solaris Express build 81, I can see the contents of pool/backups/server1 and pool/backups/server2 as I'd expect. But when I mount pool/backups on Solaris 10 or Solaris 8, I just see empty directories for server1 and server2. And if I actually write there, the files go in /pool/backups (and they can be seen on the nfs server if I unmount the sub-zfs'es). And that's extra bad because if I reboot the nfs server, the sub-zfs'es fail to mount because their mountpoints are not empty, and so it won't come up in multi-user). (the whole idea here is that I really want just the one nfs mount, but I want to be able to separate the data into separate zfs'es). So why does this work with the build 81 nfs client, and not others, and is it possible to make it work? Right now the number of sub-zfs'es is only a handful so I can mount them individually, but it's not the way I want it to work.
