Hello, I have boxed myself into a mental corner and need some help getting out. I am confused about working with ZFS file systems. Here is a simple example of what has me confused: Let's say I create the ZFS file system tank/nfs and share that over NFS. Then I create the ZFS file systems tank/nfs/foo1 and tank/nfs/foo2. I want to manage snapshots independently for foo1 and foo2, but I would like to be able to access both from the single NFS share for tank/nfs. Here are my questions:
1. Can I in fact access foo1 and foo2 through the NFS share of tank/nfs or do I need to create separate NFS shares for each of them? 2. Is there any difference in interacting with foo1 and foo2 through the tank/nfs share versus interacting with them directly? I don't even know if that question makes sense, but it's at the heart of my confusion - nesting file systems. 3. If I make a snapshot of tank/nfs, does it include the data in foo1 and foo2 or are they excluded since they are separate ZFS file systems? Thanks for your help.
