[OpenIndiana-discuss] setting up nfs4 from scratch

[Mark]

NFS 4 setup

you need to configure your domain

Linux
/etc/idmapd.conf
----------------------------
[General]
Verbosity = 0
Pipefs-Directory = /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs
Domain = mydomain.local
[Mapping]
Nobody-User = nobody
Nobody-Group = nobody
[Translation]
Method = nsswitch
-----------------------------


Opensolaris/OI

make sure services are running


svcadm enable nfs/status
svcadm enable nfs/server
svcadm enable nfs/nlockmgr
svcadm enable nfs/mapid

configure Domain

sharectl set -p nfsmapid_domain=drg.local nfs


The nfs access then needs to be set on the zfs filesystem

zfs -o sharenfs=rw=@192.168.1.0/24,root=@192.168.1.0/24, \
anon=0 datapool/mydata


mount from linux

mount -t nfs4  -o rw 10.1.17.10:/datapool/mydata /mnt/mydata

nfs3 does not require the domain settings.
I use both nfs3 and nfs4, but GID/UID issues and ACLS can be tricky, 
especially if you run cifs on the same file system as I do.


Mark.
