When imported, ZFS will send the contents of the sharenfs parameter to share(1m) along with the file share type (nfs) and file system mount point (eg /files/VM). Other than that, they are the same. For a standalone system, it probably is a wash. For clusters, it is very nice to be able to administer the shares once and have that administration travel along with the file system instead of being located elsewhere, like /etc/dfstab -- Richard Elling rich...@nexenta.com +1-760-896-4422 Enterprise class storage for everyone www.nexenta.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
