Hello all.
I have a strange issue using 9.2-PRERELEASE
I use a 9.2 machine as storage for our virtual machines.
I created a ZFS dataset named ESXishare under a ZFS storage dataset
zfs list gives me the following
san # zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
storage 4.00G 2.13T 160K /storage
storage/ESXishare 3.99G 2.13T 3.99G
/storage/ESXishare
I export this dataset to my 5.1 ESXi host using NFS
/etc/exports looks like
/storage/ESXishare -maproot=root: -alldirs -network 192.168.100.0 -mask
255.255.255.0
I can copy machines to this share fine.
I can add machines, files and directory's to this share without a
problem from the vsphere client using browse datastore and from the cli
on the FreeBSD machine itself
My thought was to use a per machine ZFS dataset to make zfs sending more
flexible. So i can send important machines to a remote side every day,
and less important machines once a week. So i create a new ZFS dataset.
zfs create storage/ESXishare/machine1
san ESXishare # zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
storage 4.00G 2.13T 160K /storage
storage/ESXishare 3.99G 2.13T 3.99G
/storage/ESXishare
storage/ESXishare/machine1 144K 2.13T 144K
/storage/ESXishare/machine1
I can see the share in vsphere using browse datastore, and i created a
vm in side this dataset from the vsphere client in the dir machine1
But if I use the cli on the FreeBSD machine itself i can not see the files.
san ~ # cd /storage/ESXishare/
san ESXishare # ls -al
total 26
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 3 Aug 15 16:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 4 Jul 3 13:56 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2 Aug 15 15:56 machine1

total 17
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 2 Aug 15 15:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 3 Aug 15 16:29 ..
zpool list tells me that the data is in use by the pool, but i can not
see the files.
san ~ # zpool list
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
storage 2.17T 4.00G 2.17T 0% 1.00x ONLINE -
If i go to the dataset and do touch test I see the file test
san ~ # cd /storage/ESXishare/machine1
san ~ # touch test
ls -al
total 18
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 3 Aug 15 16:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 3 Aug 15 16:29 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 0 Aug 15 16:57 test
But in my vsphere client using browse datastore the file test is not
there.??
I can run the vm without problem.

I have no idea where to look or if i am doing something wrong.
Thanks for your time.
