Created and shared zfs pool containing user file systems on Solaris server. Mount this on Solaris client. Can view user file systems on client but not user files. If I mount the user file systems on the client, then can see files. Both running Solaris 10. What is going wrong? Thanks This message posted from opensolaris.org

ThanksNFS doesn''t mount child filesystems automatically, so what you''re looking for is NFSv4 mirror mounts, or if you''re trying to do user home directories, automount configured something like this: * server:/export/& For a similar conundrum and its resolution, see my 21 May thread "NFS4-sharing-ZFS issues".

PS (prescript?): t''s considered good form to "reply all" so that other people can see and thus reply to your question as well. After all, I could have been hit by a bus between the last message and this one ;) On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 16:42, John P. Stoneback <jps at cs.moravian.edu> wrote:> Will, > > Thanks for your reply.

Linux may also implement mirror mounts, if that helps. Will
