zfs discuss - Oct 2007 - hierarchical share of zfs filesystem

I have a quick question about ZFS filesystems and snapshots and NFS  
shares.

Is it possible to have one mount point for a set of ZFS filesystems?  
Lets say I have /export/homes as a ZFS filesystem and NFS shared,  I  
create a new ZFS filesystem /export/homes/user1 I need to explicitly  
mount it. Only the mount point is visible under /export/homes. This  
has been standard NFS with devices mounted, ie. submounts are not  
exported, but that becomes very unhandy with dynamic ZFS and  
snapshots under NFS?

Again, the question is if I can export all ZFS filesystems under a  
specific mount point.

Solved by PSARC 2007/416 NFSv4 Mirror-mounts which integrated on Monday 
last week.

All going well this should be in snv_77.

that is great news. Especially since it confirms that I didn''t do  
anything wrong, but that this feature just wasn''t available yet ... :)
