ZFS File Sharing Within a Non-Global Zone

Starting with Oracle Solaris 11, you can create and publish NFS shares in a non-global zone.

  • If a ZFS file system is mounted and available in a non-global zone, it can be shared in that zone.

  • A file system can be shared in the global zone if it is not delegated to a non-global zone and is not mounted in a non-global zone. If a file system is added to a non-global zone, it can only be shared by using the legacy share command.

For example, the /export/home/data and /export/home/data1 file systems are available in the zfszone. 

zfszone$ share -F nfs /export/home/data
zfszone#  cat /etc/dfs/sharetab

zfszone$ zfs set share.nfs=on tank/zones/export/home/data1
zfszone$ cat /etc/dfs/sharetab
