The syntax is the same. Anything you can put into /etc/exports you can put into the sharenfs property. In fact, behind the scenes, the sharenfs property is just copied into a private exports file, and the nfs daemon uses that in addition to /etc/exports. The man pages for ZFS are just dumps of the Solaris ones, so a lot of the info is not quite right for a FreeBSD system. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash_at_gmail.comReceived on Thu Nov 05 2009 - 16:21:29 UTC
