zfs discuss - Aug 2007 - Nested ZFS sharenfs exports are empty on automount clients

Hello

I''ve got nested ZFS filesystems exported via NFS.

They are mounted on the clients using automount (from a NIS map).

But: only the root exported filesystem shows any contents on the clients.
Any sub-directories it has are fine, but any sub-filesystems are empty.

ie. NIS map auto.stuff contains "stuff  server:/stuff/images"
server% zfs get sharenfs
stuff/images          sharenfs rw=netgroup
stuff/images/small sharenfs inherited from stuff/images
stuff/images/large sharenfs rw=netgroup

client% ls /data/stuff/images
large/ small/ other files...

But /data/stuff/images/large is empty, as is small/

If I move the files out of the ZFS sub-filesystems into plain directories
then it is fine.

And on the client /net/server/stuff/images/large works just fine too.

I''m not sure if this is a NFS automount problem or a Nested-ZFS
problem!

Does it also contain the small & large subdirectories? If not, then
it''s
acting just like you told it too.. Mount only server:/stuff/images and
nothing else..
