SMB Browsing Fails When share.smb=on
Is Set on a ZFS Pool
If you have a ZFS pool with datasets and you run the zfs set share.smb=on
command on the pool, the pool and all its datasets are shared but unavailable for browsing by Windows systems.
To work around this problem:
-
Determine whether your ZFS pool and dataset versions support SMB shares.
$ zpool get version pool $ zfs get version dataset
Support for SMB shares requires that ZFS pools be at least Version 9 and that ZFS datasets be at least Version 3.
-
If your ZFS pool or dataset version are out of date, upgrade your ZFS pools and datasets.
$ zpool upgrade pool $ zfs upgrade dataset
For more information, see the
zpool
(8) andzfs
(8) man pages. -
Either map the shares directly or run the
zfs set share.smb=on
command on any of the lower-level datasets instead of the pool.
