A network file server can control which files are available for sharing. A network file server can also control which clients have access to the files, and what type of access is permitted for those clients. The file server can grant read-write access or read-only access either to all clients or to specific clients. Access control is specified when resources are made available with the share command.
When you create an NFS share of a ZFS file system, the file system is permanently shared until you remove the share. SMF automatically manages the share when the system is rebooted.
