How to nfs share zfs filesystems in Solaris?

petulia3478

You can share filesystems without using /etc/dfs/dfstab by using the sharenfs option. By default, this option is set to off.

# zfs set sharenfs=on test_pool/fs1

Check:

# zfs get sharenfs test_pool/fs1
NAME           PROPERTY  VALUE          SOURCE
test_pool/fs1  sharenfs  on             local

This property is inherited so if a filesystem is shared, all children filesystems created after sharenfs is set to "on" will also be shared.

# zfs create test_pool/fs1/data

# zfs get sharenfs test_pool/fs1/data
NAME                PROPERTY  VALUE               SOURCE
test_pool/fs1/data  sharenfs  on                  inherited from test_pool/fs1

By default, this shares with read/write access for everyone.

To share with read-only access:

# zfs set sharenfs=ro test_pool/fs1

Check:

# zfs get sharenfs test_pool/fs1
NAME           PROPERTY  VALUE          SOURCE
test_pool/fs1  sharenfs  ro             local
