[OpenIndiana-discuss] unable to start nfs

Tue May 8 01:15:04 UTC 2012

Tim,

If you use that method your NFS share properties will only live in the hosts dfstab file.
By setting zfs properties you achieve the same thing except the share follows the zfs filesystem. (nas/vol0 in this example)

e.g.

zfs set sharenfs=rw,nosuid,root=vmware-host-ip-etc sp1/nas/vol0
zfs set mountpoint=/export/ss1-nas-vol0 sp1/nas/vol0

If you do a zfs send to an external zfspool the property lives on it without a tab change.

Warning:
rw=all = danger! Do you really want every node to have rw access?

well, shiver me timbers!!!

all I had to do to get the service started was to add an entry in dfstab:

root at openindiana:/export/home/bluethundr# tail /etc/dfs/dfstab# Do not modify this file directly.
# Use the sharemgr(1m) command for all share management # This file is reconstructed and only maintained for backward # compatibility. Configuration lines could be lost.
#
#       share [-F fstype] [ -o options] [-d "<text>"] <pathname> [resource]
#       .e.g,
#       share  -F nfs  -o rw=engineering  -d "home dirs"  /export/home2
share -F nfs -o sec=sys,rw=all -d "xen share" /tank/xen

I had the idea of adding the entry and starting the service. So glad that did the trick!

Thanks for your help guys!
