You can do that, but just as ZFS has inbuilt support for managing mounting of filesystems by setting the mountpoint property it also has inbuilt support for managing NFS exports via the sharenfs property. Do one or the other - not both. I started out using /etc/exports and switched to ZFS properties for reasons I have now forgotten. > Also, is use of tmpfs > compatible/OK w/ ZFS 'filesystem' ? Sure no reason why you shouldn't use both, except perhaps for memory pressure. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
